Hi Mark

I have never exhibited before so cannot advise on that, sorry.

gc, Grant does exhibit though, so perhaps could point you in the right direction there.

All the best

Thanks for the link to the article. Interesting to read someone's experience. I have some interesting aspects of the reprints to exhibit and examples of them, but I am not sure if I can put together enough frames without it being boring. I am not sure if multiple pages, each with a large block of a different denomination, in addition to some "proving" examples, would be considered worthy. The DIVISION 2 FIP Qualifying Classes has a minimum size of any entry of two frames (32 pages). Thats a lot of pages to fill.

Also, is it possible to mount a full sheet of the FFQ 2d plate II Hausburg reprint across multiple pages.

I am a NZ Citizen, but not a resident, so I don't think I can enter the Adult Development class (NZ residents only) which allows one frame or 8 pages.

There is also Non-FIP that can be one frame (I am guessing 16 pages), but the categories are limited, unless topical has a broad definition.

DIVISION 3 Non-FIP Qualifying classes.
3.1 Cinderellas
3.2 Frugal Philately
3.3 First Day Covers
3.4 Modern (any classes 2.4 – 2.9 or 3.1 – 3.3 primarily using material issued in the last 30 years.
3.5 Topical
3.6 One Frame – any of classes 3.1 -3.5

Some examples of major award-winning exhibits or collections that are considered among the very best in their fields from the Museum of Philately

Biography

Joseph D. Hackmey, is an Israeli Philatelist and businessman, and art collector, who has won Grand Prix medals at the World Philatelic Exhibitions, Istanbul 1996, Israel 1998, Israel 2008, and was a candidate for the Grand Prix in Washington, 2006.

Hackmey is a Fellow of the Royal Philatelic Society, London and a member of the Collectors Club of New York. In 2010 he was elected an associate foreign member of the Académie de philatélie, Paris. He became interested in stamps at the age of five, watching his father studying his Commonwealth collection of the "Three Kings". From that time he spent many hours each week with the "SG Red Book" sorting the stamps that were sent to his father's insurance company.

He is one of the few philatelists to have won FIP Grand Prix with different exhibits - his Classic Persia won the Grand Prix d'Honneur at Istanbul '96; his Holy Land Ottoman Period the National Grand Prix at Israel '98; and more recently, his Moldavia & Wallachia won the National Grand Prix in 2008 and his Classic France the International Grand Prix at Israel 2008.

Apart from the above, Joseph has received major medals for Ceylon, New Zealand, Chile, Jordan, Barbados, British Palestine and Grenada. In addition he collects USA imperfs on cover, Australian States, and the Postal History of the Turkish Post in the Ottoman Empire. He is a member of the Collectors Club, New York.

Joseph Hackmey is a fifth generation Israeli. He achieved a B.Sc. in mathematics and physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1964, followed by an M.Sc. in electronic engineering in 1965 (at age twenty). He earned a post-graduate diploma in Actuarial Science and business management from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in 1967, and then qualified as a Fellow of the Institute of Actuaries, London. Following a number of appointments with the Israel Phoenix Insurance Company, he was appointed Managing Director in 1987, and was Chairman from 1991 until he sold the company and moved to England.

Joseph Hackmey is a member of the Board of Governors of the Weizmann Institute of Science; the Israel Museum; the Tel Aviv Museum of Art; the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the Tel Aviv University; and is a member of the International Council of the Tate Gallery, London. During 1988-1995 he served as Chairman of the Israeli Chess Association and was for a number of years Honorary Treasurer of the Arthur Rubinstein Music Society. He is passionate about opera as well. Through his understanding and appreciation of the arts, he established the Israeli Phoenix Corporate Collection, considered the most prominent corporate collection of art in Israel. Joseph also possesses a large personal collection of art.

In 2000, he received the bi-annual International Humanitarian award from the B'nai B'rith society in Washington D.C. under the patronage of President Clinton, and in May 2009 received an Honorary Doctorate from Tel Aviv University in recognition of his activities and donations to improve social projects (including art, music, chess and literature) in Israel.

 I do my pages on MS Word which is fairly easy to use, if a little annoying sometimes.

Here is my draft title page

I am planning 3 frames as well, but will be taking it in person. Another issue I have is mounting full sheets (one of the 2d plate II Hausburg and a photo of the 4d paper "Hausburg") and part sheets that extend over multiple pages. And how to use a archive plastic protector for those pages.

A fair concern. To be honest, I've not transferred my stamps into the pages yet, these are scans too.
I have planned for Hawid mounts then placing the page inside an archive plastic protector,
but there remains a risk of movement of the stamps.


I have my complete stamp collection in Hawid and Sleeve protectors (300 albums)
I very rarely see stamp movement, if at all.

I use second hand Hawids, and will cut "US showguards" in half lengthwise, and use as Hawids
This may be just a tad dodgy, as the clear plastic (Mylar?) of the showguards, are not as thick as the Hawid top loaders
and the larger stamps of say Poland or Bulgaria may shift slightly.
Depends how one turns the pages, size  and make of the album (type of spine )etc.
