Auctions

We strive to have an auction of first issue related philatelic material every quarter. The auction is for members only, but anybody may view the auction rules.

Showcase

A changing display of "hard-to-find" first issues. Some of these stamps may not be rare in the common sense of the word, but they may be difficult to find anyway. Also found here is a small quiz and a challenge!

Catalog

We are attempting to assemble a more or less exhaustive list of philatelic first issues. We will try to compile more detailed information for some, and eventually all, issues listed. This will be a work in progress for years to come.
