UNPA attends a
number of stamp shows during the year. In earlier years, especially in the
1980s and 1990s there were a lot more attendances and the blue, white and green
exhibition card were popular collection objects. Essen is still one of the
shows where UNPA is present every year. During the Briefmarken-Messe in Essen
in May 2017 I left stamped envelopes at almost every foreign postal administration
hoping they would send them back when they arrived home. For UN Geneva I bought
one of the stamps issued for the International Day of UN Peacekeepers, issued
on 29 May 2016. Since I left it at a stamp show the envelope automatically got
the exhibition cachet. Also UNPA put a priority mark on the cover.
Recent stamps of
UNPA can be bought through the UN stamps website: unstamps.org.
