ASPPP Gives Talk On Plating at Americover 2009
Bruce Menia of the American Society for Philatelic Pages and Panels
will speak on "The Plating of Modern Commemoratives" on first day covers, ceremony programs, souvenir pages and commemorative panels during Americover 2009. The three-day show and convention of the American First Day Cover Society is being held July 31-August 2 at the Holiday Inn in Boxborough, Mass., not far from historic Lexington and Concord. Admission and parking is free. Menia's talk is at 10 a.m. Saturday in the hotel's Board Room. "It will be a real eye-opener," particularly for members of the AFDCS and American Ceremony Program Society, says Menia, vice president of the ASPPP. Later that day, at 3 p.m., the ASPPP will hold its annual meeting in the Boxwood Room, and Menia will talk about specializing in specific areas of souvenir pages. Altogether, there are about 30 meetings and seminars scheduled during Americover 2009. Some of the others include the latest news from the U.S. Postal Service's Stamp Fulfillment Services, selling first day covers on eBay, first day covers sent to foreign destinations, and "The Prexies: Common Stamps, Uncommon Usages." Although an independent philatelic society, the ASPPP is also a chapter of the AFDCS and often holds meetings and seminars at Americover. Other societies holding meetings or seminars at Americover 2009 include the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors, the American Ceremony Program Society and the Virtual Stamp Club. Americover 2009's bourse, with more than 30 dealers, will be open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friday and Saturday and until 4 p.m. on Sunday. The cachetmakers bourse, the largest of its kind held each year, is 5 to 9 p.m. Saturday evening. Americover 2009 is a World Series of Philately show, and will have 180 frames of competitive exhibits. The Grand Award winner at Americover will be entered in the Champion of Champions competition at StampShow 2010. The complete Americover 2009 schedule can be found at http://tinyurl.com/ktxh6y.
