German Post envelopes

After a two-year absence, Deutsche Post will be returning to the Collector Trade Fair to be held in Prague from 15 to 17 September.

For this year's fair, it has prepared this beautiful envelope for collectors.

The Dutch are coming back

Exhibiting at the Collector Trade Fair last year for the first time was the Netherlands company World Coins International from Huizen, which is one of the world’s leading wholesale companies in the area of modern collectable coins. This year, visitors will again find them at the same place.

Schoeller is again the biggest

In accordance with tradition, the Austrian firm Schoeller Münzhandel from Vienna will have the biggest exposition at the trade fair. At its stand it will be representing ten world mints.

UN Day on Sunday

Traditionally, Sunday at the trade fair has belonged to the United Nations Organization. The organizers declare it as UN Day, and a commemorative UN rubberstamp is available for collectors at the stand of the Czech Post. For the duration of the trade fair, postcards for the Collector Trade Fair will be on sale at the stand of the United Nations Postal Administration, and a cachet will be available. The UNPA has been a participant at the Collector Trade Fair every year since the very beginning and is one of the fifteen exhibitors that have not missed a single year’s trade fair in the nine years of its existence. They deserves our thanks, since at the fair’s premiere in 1998, they could not have known what they were getting into with us. It is also thanks to them that the Collector Trade Fair in Prague has over time grown to its current large dimensions and has become the biggest collector’s event in the countries of Central and Eastern Europe.

New big exhibitors

First time a company Prague Classic Car Centre is participating at the fair. It will attract mainly admires and collectors of vintage and classical cars. From its collection the company will exhibit vehicle Praga Grand from 1929 whose owner was the son of the first Czechoslovak president Jan Masaryk and the luxory carriage RAF H 10 from 1909 which was built in Liberec in two pieces only for Austrian emperor Franz Josef and for fabricant Liebig.

The company Aleš Tůma from Rožnov will offer here inexhaustible quantity of minerals, gems and jewelry from natural stones.
