GEORGE VI  £1.00 HIGH VALUE

The IPDA serving collectors as well as dealers, ran a 24 hour hour marathon stamp chat from our web site on the 30th September to 1st October 06.

Due to the different time scales across the globe, we  had 50 +  people attend this event over the 24 hour period. These were collectors and dealers, who had a great time meeting new people, and bumping  into old contacts . Some made trades of duplicate material, some of the younger collectors even received free stamps and gifts from members.

Our chat hosts were instructed to list the names of all non member collectors who attended. All names were entered into the draw. The winner of this prize, is John B Johnson, ( Nick Name “ONES”) from New Jersey USA.  The Raffle was overseen by the webmaster (my self) and drawn by Michael Dodd of CDD Stamps Sydney Australia who is the IPDA Publicity Director.

Congratulations “Ones”. This is a fantastic fine used George VI  £1.00 high value definitive stamp, catalogued by Stanley Gibbons at £18.00 GBP. Cat Number SG 512. It will be mailed to you as soon as I have confirmed your postal address.

Many thanks go those who attended and helped to support us during the chat, thus allowing us to bring the IPDA and our services which supply protection to the online philatelic community to more peoples attention.
