“With offices in New York, Singapore, London, Hong Kong and Switzerland, we are excited to have the support of the global Spink team in making Virtual Stampex the most exciting international event in the philatelic calendar this year. We are thrilled by the positive response we have had for the virtual show so far. Within a couple of weeks of launching booth sales, we had over 50 PTS members and affiliated bodies securing their booths and we have lots of exciting activity planned as we continue to ‘put the X back into Stampex’. We look forward to welcoming philatelists from all over the globe – from those just entering the hobby to those who have seen many years of changes within our hobby. Virtual Stampex is certainly gearing up to be a milestone evolution point in the story of philately.”
