As many of you may not know, I am a collector of space covers and have exhibited my Apollo-Soyuz Test Project collection here in the United States. I am trying to help the FIP Chairman of the FIP Bureau of Astrophilately in trying to bring astrophilately back into mainstream philately. I am trying to determine why astrophilatelists here in the United States do not exhibit. Much progress in getting the judges familiar with astrophilately with publication of the Space Cover Handbook by Ray Cartier which should help judges to evaluate exhibits of astrophilately. I would be interested in any thoughts from space cover collectors who exhibit. Back in the 1970-90's there were many space collectors who exhibited. Please post your thoughts.
