- Allan Smith presents a detailed exploration of the region's rich postal history. This comprehensive presentation is divided into four parts, each corresponding to a different occupation era in (Northern, Western, and Eastern) Thrace. Allan showcases a rich array of Thrace stamps and overprints, linking each piece to its historical context. He provides valuable insights into identifying various stamps, their design elements, overprints, and cancellations, including the different names used by occupying forces. Additionally, Allan highlights some forgeries, equipping collectors with signs to look for in these stamps. This presentation is an excellent starting point for collectors interested in exploring this fascinating corner of philatelic history.
What an incredible history lesson as well as a wonderful demonstration in philatelic scholarship. Can’t imagine the work involved to prepare this presentation. And of course the stamps themselves….Much appreciated!

Interesting philatelic history of a region, Thrace, I did not even known the existence of. The European areas and change of their boarders over time is pretty complex. Anyway, I learned a lot from this excellent presentation. Thanks Allan and ISCNY. Happy New Year to you all! 🥳🎉
We're so glad you enjoyed Allan's presentation on Thrace and learned somethig interesting! You're right, the history of Balkan borders is complex, and it's amazing how much we can learn through stamps alone. Thanks for tuning in and for your kind words. And here's to happy collecting in 2024!!!
