On September 6, 2025, the first Hessen Stamp Fair took place in Hofheim am Taunus, organized by eight clubs from the Rhine-Main region together with the Association of Philatelic Clubs of Hessen and Rhine-Main-Nahe e.V.
The BPP was also represented here with an information and advice stand, where several fellow examiners (Leon Bernhard, Hansmichael Krug, and Andreas Wehner, from left to right) were on hand to offer their expertise to visitors to the stamp fair.
In almost 40 consultations, it was once again impressively confirmed how important our presence is, even at “smaller” events. The majority of visitors came to the BPP stand with specific questions about particular pieces. In the expert discussions, most of the questions could be answered or high-quality pieces confirmed, much to the delight of those asking the questions.
However, in order to ensure 100% certainty, it was recommended that the items be examined by the BPP colleague responsible for the respective area of expertise.
Many thanks to those responsible on site for the excellent organization of the Hessen Stamp Fair. A repeat event is planned for 2026. If the dates are suitable, the BPP e.V. will be happy to participate again with an information and advice stand.
