Israel
Philately: International Show Cards
In
1981 the Israel Philatelic Services introduced THE ISRAEL INTERNATIONAL
SHOW CARD. The first such show card was issued for the WIPA stamp
exhibition in Austria. Since then, over 20 National and International
exhibitions around the world have been so honoured by Israel’s
Philatelic Services. Each show card relates almost exclusively
to the host country, and in many instances hi-lites the Jewish
aspect of that particular country by virtue of the stamp or photo
reproduced on the card. These cards were available ONLY at the
show, and were not sold by the Philatelic Services nor through
their subscription agencies around the world, perhaps with
one or two exceptions. The cards have been issued in very limited
numbers when you consider the tens of thousands of people who attend
these shows, with unsold cards destroyed after each show.
Most cards are available
from JUDAICA SALES - only 1 card remains truly elusive - and that
is the 1982 Philex France of which a large quantity was lost in
the mails. The show cards are available either mint or First Day
cancelled with appropriate stamps and cancellations relating to
the International Show at which the cards were sold, and in some
cases cancelled each day of the show, on the same card or on separate
cards. Only a handful of dealers worldwide have access to these
cards. They were discontinued in 1997. |
