Here is a souvenir sheet from the APS StampShow 2002 signed by Heidi Klum. I didn't mind waiting in line for her autograph.  |

No way near as impressive as some of these beautiful Souvenir Sheets on this thread but this was in a collection I just picked up  |

What a fascinating thread! I just now discovered it and I'm glad it's been refreshed with new interest lately. I have several things I can add, but wanted to go through all 21 pages first to see if these had already been posted. Jamesw did submit a scruffy copy some years back, but here is a more presentable one. Here are two very scarce overprints of the Philatelic Truck souvenir sheet. The "Rajpeepla" sheet is gummed, with a menu printed on the back, the SPA sheet is ungummed. Also a Philatelic Truck sheet on cover, franked with the "first Postometer" at New York Penn Station post office -- AND autographed by Ralph Davis, supervisor and driver of the truck. Not sure if this qualifies as an expo label, but thought I'd throw it in. :-)     |

Very nice 'Truck' items. Interesting to note that the Meter is not tied to the cover. Great little item ! With Exhibition material I have found more and more than the search for those elusive pieces can be frustrating and long. I have been after the following item for many years, only seen it once and was well outbid. Issued in limited numbers for Press Publicity purposes at the 1950 International Stamp Exhibition in London. Printed by Waterlow & Sons overprinted in Red by Letterpress.  The odd thing about this purchase was that I purchased a mini-hoard that had no doubt been tucked away for years and am trying to find out how it was left untouched. Londonbus1....more coming.  |

My first upload of images from my collection of poster stamps and other cinderellas. For this start I have selected some items dating back to 1914. This triptych to my eyes is an absolute beauty:  It was issued for an exhibition that apparently lasted just one day. The next two items are not strictly for a stamp exhibition as they were for the 5th Italian Philatelic Congress, held in Naples on May 21-24.  More to follow (scanning takes time!) Michele |

Three stamps, in two slightly different sizes, for Sicilia 59, the first ever philatelic exhibition held in Italy under FIP rules.  Michele |

Curious. Anyone know how many overprints were used on the 'Truck' souvenir sheet? I have the Chicago sheet shown above (though mine is torn). Just wondering. |

There was a good article on the Truck S/S in the American Philatelist some years ago. I have a copy somewhere and will try to find it.
Nice items as are the Munich Triptych...never seen those before. |

At first sight these poster stamps would look out of the theme as they are clearly aviation related. But the sheetlet was distributed at the Italian Air Force booth present in Verona 80, one the two 1980 editions of this large stamp fair held twice a year and in which the Air Force was presenting its historical publications.  The sheetlet is one of the many printed by the Istituto Poligrafico e Zecca dello Stato, i.e. the Security Printing Works and Mint of the State, which is often present at philateic exhibitions with a large display of its products, often accompained by brochures containing similar sheetlets (a few to come in the next posts).

Calella is a very turistic spot on Catalonia's central coast, that has held many philatelic exhibitions. Like this thematic one in June 1986:   |
