Arlington

FEB 4

The next Arlington meeting for 2025 will be held on Wednesday, February 4.

Special Arlington Program February 4 - The program will be a discussion on expertization by TSDA dealer Jimmy Tomchesson of PSAG (Philatelic Stamp Authentication and Grading). Jimmy will be showing some of the new equipment used in authentication and stamp grading, and expertization in general. This promises to be an interesting show. Jimmy has offered to examine any stamps you may want to have expertized at the meeting and will provide discount coupons for stamps you may want to have expertized in the future. Come on out and bring your best challenges for Jimmy.

Arlington Auction in April - We will have our first Arlington club auction in April. Lots (or at least the auction sheets) should be turned in at the March meetings. Heavy and bulky items (like albums and boxes) should be kept until the auction, but please provide Skip with the auction sheet so they can be properly advertised.

Dues are Due: Regular $12, Mailed Newsletter $22, Additional household members $6, Donor member $25. A Regular membership includes an emailed newsletter. If mailing your dues payment, please use the January newsletter form. Checks should be made payable to Mid-Cities Stamp Club. Mail to Mid-Cities Stamp Club, PO Box 820784, N. Richland Hills, TX 76182-0784. Members with a continuous membership of 25 years or more get free dues.

Mystic catalogs are needed for the Beginners table at Expo. Skip Ely advises that they make excellent instructional guides for beginning collectors.

NOTE: This will be our LAST meeting at the Bob Duncan Recreation Center. See the Philatelic News section for more information.
