MIF GOES PRAGUE!

MIF is present during Sberatel , the largest gathering of collectors in Central and Eastern Europe in September at the PVA Expo Letňany fairground in Prague. They expect more than 10.000 visitors who will buy stamps, coins, medals, banknotes, postcards, but also old stocks or autographs.

One of the interesting highlights during the Sberatal Autumn Fair is a rare Titanic artifact which will be on display next to the Czech Post stand. It is an address label with the Titanic postmark of April 1912, small in size but large in value. There are only thirty such labels in the world of which only ten are available on the open market. It’s something of a holy grail for collectors of various specialties, not just philatelists!

On behalf of the MIF organization we wish the Jirasek brothers a splendid fair and we are looking forward to having a traditional ‘Czech Beer’ with you again in a few weeks in our beloved Maastricht. Provost!

If there would be a category at the Paris Olympics for on-site grading, we would certainly send the PMG Team to win gold! The MIF Organization is very pleased not only to announce PMG International as our co-sponsor but also their incredible team being present at the MIF Autumn Fair. The one million Dollar ‘Olympic’ question will of course be: Will they break another record?

Ladies and gentlemen, fellow exhibitors, sponsors and numismatic friends and family,

What a great show and what a joy having you all with us in Maastricht. The MIF Spring Fair has set new standards with breaking records on all fronts and stages: Not only did we succeed in attracting more exhibitors, dealers, visitors and on-site grades than the previous shows, I broke my personal record in walking 125+ km during these days ;-)

Besides that, the MIF organization received many constructive feedback from you and we will certainly implement this at the upcoming MIF Autumn Show in September.

A big thank you to all of you and see you in September!

Dimitri, Claudia & Laura Waltmans | MIF Organization.
