 As announced earlier, The CartoPhilatelic Society will be attending the World Stamp Show 2016 being held in the Jacob Javits Convention Center in New York City, May 28 through June 4, 2016. This is a very major event and we are excited about our participation. We will be having a table in the Society’s area. Close to 60 other philatelic Societies will be represented during the show. We plan to staff the table during the event to promote the Society and attract new members and will be asking for volunteers to help.
On May 29th the 6th Meeting of the CartoPhilatelic Society will be held from 10:30 am until 12:00pm in Room 1E11. A tentative agenda for the meeting is shown below.
- “Maps on Stamps” a PowerPoint presentation by Miklos Pinther on collecting miniature maps (40 min.)
- “Don’t Lick the Stamp” an illustrative lecture by Martin Oakes on organizing and writing up a collection (15 min.)
- “CPS Web Site and Digital Projects Update” by Reese Plews (15 min.)
Please take a moment to let us know if you will be at the show and plan to attend our meeting or if you can help by volunteering at our table by filling out our online form. You can also use the form to communicate directly with our Society organizer for the show, Mr. Miklos Pinther, president emeritus of the CartoPhilatelic Society.
Be sure to watch this page for more information as the show nears. Hope to see as many of you as possible in NYC!

 ATA 65th NTSS 2014 Logo At the American Topical Association’s 65th National Topical Stamp Show (NTSS) [St. Louis Missouri, USA] held in June 2014, The New CartoPhilatelist was awarded the prestigious Gold Medal in the Medium Study Units (50-200 members) class. In addition, TNCP received the Grand Prize as the best of the 10 journals entered in this category. The award was presented at the banquet dinner to our Journal’s editor Mr. Martin Oakes who was joined at the ceremony by Society Vice-President David Wolfersberger and Society President Emeritus Miklos Pinther. “This award is not only proof of Martin’s dedication and effort towards producing each issue, but also the high level of research and attention to detail evident in the articles and content submitted by the authors. This is a wonderful recognition for the Society,” said CPS President Mark Honig. “Congratulations to everyone over the years who have helped put The New CartoPhilatelist on the philatelic literature world map!”

Welcome to the CartoPhilatelic Society Celebrating our 71st Year as a Society. Come and Join Us!
The CartoPhilatelic Society has entered our 71st year as a Society! In 1955 a group of philatelists with a keen interest in map stamps founded the CartoPhilatelic Society. Today we carry on their passion for map stamps in the collections we assemble and the research we conduct.
