THE BPP AS A GUEST AT THE SECOND MICHEL COLLECTORS’ SEMINAR.

THE BPP AS A GUEST AT THE SECOND MICHEL COLLECTORS’ SEMINAR.

On 15-16 November the second MICHEL collectors’ seminar of the Philatelic Academy e. V took place at Eching near Munich. The President of the BPP, Christian Geigle, gave a two-hour lecture on the topic “Combating forgers and swindlers – expertisers in the service of philately” at the invitation of the organiser. With many new examples of the daily work of the BPP expertiser, he explained the tricks and ploys of forgers and fakers to the 50+ listeners in the packed meeting room and pointed out how to take protective measures. The ensuing discussion proved once again how important such information is for dedicated collectors. This was also the consensus of the participants: “Today we have learned a lot!” The BPP hears this willingly.

BPP Expert wanted!

As a specialized collector, have you ever toyed with the idea of using your knowledge to be an stamp expert? Or have you ever been annoyed by an expert and thought: what he can do, I can do at least as well!

Advanced training seminar for BPP Experts in Pullach

The sun was rare this weekend, but instead it rained almost continuously in Pullach near Munich when eight BPP examiners gathered for a further training seminar at the “Hotel Seitnerhof” on 21 and 22 July.

The two lecturers, President Christian Geigle and Vice President Dr. Peter Provinsky, galloped with them through the newly created “Auditor’s Handbook” with its many regulations, in which the BPP regulates the work of its members, their relationship among themselves and their duties towards the association.
