What a tremendous event! Hope everyone enjoyed themselves.
It’s almost time for the spring RPSC ‘Philately 101’ Zoom Series: Different ways to collect!
This spring we will be considering the many ways to collect stamps. Each evening we will hear from three collectors and learn about the ways that they collect. The series is designed to show participants just a small number of the many, many ways that one can collect stamps. The ‘Philately 101’ Zoom Series is an open access event and all are welcome. The Zoom link for all three meetings can be found below:
