Every year, the philatelists who provided an extraordinary service to this domain as a whole, especially by their big sets of stamps, are awarded by the American Topical Association. Anyone who has a thrilling topical stamp collection that can be regarded as a great story for the world of philately can apply and get nominated until December 31, 2023.
The winner will be chosen by a special committee formed by the Association. The ceremony itself will take place on August 17, 2024, during a special banquet.
Why are topical collections so precious? Well, they combine both the interests of people in certain themes and in philately. It’s not difficult to begin, and this path has both a lot of challenges and enjoyment.
The more specific you are in your collection, the more expensive and valuable it becomes to the philatelic world. This interest and immersion in a certain theme allow you to find the rarest stamps that no other enthusiast would ever search for!
If you already have a collection and are willing to participate, you can send your letter to dale.smith48@gmail.com.
