The largest gathering of collectors in Central and Eastern Europe will take place again this year on September 4-5 2026 at the PVA Expo Letňany fairground.
More than 240 exhibitors from all over the world will offer stamps, coins, medals, banknotes, postcards, but also old stocks or autographs. Many of them are coming to Prague for the first time. Visitors can also look forward to an interesting accompanying programme.
The Minerals and Gemstones Fair will accompany the Sberatel Fair on both days and the Vinyl and Stereo Expo on Saturday, 5th September.
During the year you can also visit the Spring Sberatel Fair or the Christmas Sberatel Fair and follow what’s happening in the world of collecting on collectornews.info.
Shopping, admiring, having their own collections appraised free of charge, but above all meeting friends and other collectors – all this attracted ten thousand people to the PVA Expo exhibition center in Prague on September 5 and 6. More than 240 exhibitors from around the world awaited them.
The date of the largest gathering of stamp, coin, banknote, postcard and mineral collectors in Central and Eastern Europe is now firmly fixed in the calendar of every company that matters in the world of collecting.
Visitors could shop with the oldest British philatelic dealer, Stanley Gibbons, with the Austrian Mint, major German gold dealers such as C. Hafner or Sincona. Naturally, leading international dealers and auction houses such as Rauch, Künker, Feldman, Emporium Hamburg, Heritage Auctions, Aixphila, Hanmart, Tietz, Vincennes, Wim van der Bijl or JF Stamps from Denmark were also present. At face value, visitors could obtain stamps from the postal administrations of Germany, Cyprus, Slovakia, Belarus and Kyrgyzstan, or from the United Nations – and of course also from Czech Post, which introduced a number of interesting new issues at the fair.
The largest Czech players were also present, including Antium Aurum, Macho & Chlapovič, Aurea Numismatika, Klim, Šůcha, Pešek and Zlatá koruna. Albums and other collecting supplies were offered at attractive prices directly by manufacturers such as Leuchtturm, Lindner and, for the first time, Safe.
The Sberatel fair attracted enormous media attention. In addition to live coverage on Czech Television, all major print and online dailies as well as the business magazine Forbes reported on it.
The biggest attraction of last year’s Sberatel Fair was undoubtedly the so-called Moon Landing Cover. In 1971, the Apollo 15 crew secretly took 400 postal covers to the Moon.
Today, the so-called Sieger covers are extremely rare, and one of them – owned by Czech collector David Kopřiva – was exhibited publicly for the first time at the fair.
Artist Pasta Oner – a pioneer of pop art and street art on the Czech scene – personally introduced at the Sberatel fair a new stamp entitled Love Letter, which he created for Czech Post.
Auction house Macho & Chlapovič presented in its exhibition one of the most beautiful specimen of gold coin from Hungarian history – a rare five-ducat piece of Leopold I from 1669, estimated to be worth more than 150 000 EUR.
The express steam locomotive 498.1, nicknamed the “Albatros one”, holds the official Czech-Slovak speed record for steam locomotives at 162 km/h. The motif, which appeared on a new 0 euro souvenir banknote and a couponed stamp issued by Czech Post, was created by artist Petr Ptáček, who willingly signed autographs for collectors.
The Czech Mint presented at this year’s Sberatel Fair a new version of the investment coin Czech Lion. The unveiling included a moderated discussion with the creator of the original design, Asamat Baltaev, and Vojtěch Dostál, to whom he symbolically passed the baton after nine years. The interesting twist is that years ago Dostál had been Baltaev’s teacher at medal-making school.
An exceptional gold set in a cubist design with Colombian emeralds and diamonds, worth nearly 1 000 000 EUR, also caught the attention of Czech Television. Created by JK Jewellery, the set consists of a necklace, bracelet, ring, earrings and brooch. It was on display at the stand of Greenshine Mystery company.
This year’s Sberatel Fair also hosted the announcement of the winners of the first edition of the Praga Ars Philatelica – competition for the world’s most beautiful stamp. Organised jointly by the Sberatel Fair fair and the Prague Postal Museum, the competition featured nine categories.
Eleven postal administrations participated in this historic first edition. Representatives of Czech Post, Slovak Post, UN Post and Kyrgyz Express Post, all of which had exhibitions at the fair, came on stage to receive their diplomas in person. Other postal administrations will receive theirs by post.
Installing philatelic rarities can be fun! The Prestige Philately Club Prague offered collectors the chance to see the famous stamps of British Guiana from the “cotton reels” issue of 1850 and the “ships” issue of 1856 on both days of the fair.
As in previous years, the Sberatel Fair was accompanied on both days by the Minerals and Gemstones fair, and on Saturday 6 September also by the Vinyl and Stereo Expo record and CD fair, together with a special section devoted to heavy music, the Rock & Metal Market. Among others, the event featured GZ Media company, the world’s largest manufacturer of vinyl records.
The Sberatel Fair attracts a lot of media interest every year. Czech Television and Czech Radio provided live coverage of the event last year, and news about the Sberatel appeared on the main news on CNN TV Prima, and TV Nova.
The Prague Gem and Mineral Show, which accompanies the Sberatel Fair every year, has grown into a separate hall . Visitors were able to buy precious stones, minerals, jewellery or just get inspiration for home creations.
Traditionally, the Vinyl & Stereo Expo and the Rock & Metal Market is also held alongside the Sberatel Fair on Saturday. Collectors could find rare records from nearly forty dealers from all over Europe, CDs, cassettes and music memorabilia.
