British Stamp Dealing A Theory of Evolution by PTS Member Steven Scott of Steven Scott Stamps Fleet Street was once synonymous with newspapers Hatton Garden still has its diamond trade and The Strand remains the home of stamp dealers But only just In many other careers forty plus years of activity would qualify you for the retirement watch and end of term pension Yet stamp dealing is not like that not remotely I started dealing in my teens placing my first advert in Stamp Collecting Weekly when seventeen Decades on I still consider myself a reasonably junior member of the trade by the standards of those who have gone before and of course those who are still active today I ve come to know many of the dealers whom I consider peers as well as a few of the titans of previous generations people who chose to deal in postage stamps but would have been captains of industry in whatever field they d operated My personal hero was the late Max Stern Max survived the Nazi concentration camps and started life afresh in Australia becoming a globe trotting dealer active well into his nineties Not far behind him comes Jonny Jarosz a Polish dealer whom I first encountered in the Strand Stamp Centre He was largely responsible for nurturing my interest in stamps I later ran my business from that same location for twenty years a boyhood ambition fulfilled The pull of small pieces of paper and envelopes is immense It has consumed Kings and Lords and legions of humbler folk I became hooked at ten and despite various pulls in other directions I still derive the same pleasure in being a part of the dealing fraternity As a child in the mid 70s I would spend weekends at local stamp fairs A memorable highlight would be trips into Stampland The Strand and its environs in school holidays when sufficient pocket money and car wash round funds had amassed This was followed by the excitement of working Continued www thepts net 11
British Stamp Dealing Continued A Theory of Evolution dealers as well of course as Stanley Gibbons and Royale Stamp Co The Holy Grail was the monthly Wednesday Strand Palace bourse when a further fifty or so dealers would congregate in the hotel ballroom If that coincided with an auction at Stanley Gibbons and the launch of a new commemorative set at The Philatelic Bureau within Trafalgar Square Post Office you truly had the perfect storm stamp style in The Strand from 1979 to 2016 In the 70s the area boasted the Strand Stamp Centre that had been formerly an even larger congregation of Stamp Dealers a few doors down the Covent Garden International Centre the Embankment Collectors Centre and myriad independent 12 A handful of highlights included buying from his widow after his actual death the effects of Postmaster General John Stonehouse who famously faked the first rendition watching an irate French dealer tear up a PUC 1 during the height of the boom when a potential buyer had the audacity to suggest it was repaired taking an auction lot from its opening price of a hundred pounds to several thousand pounds when frustratingly just one other dealer had appreciated its rarity my first stand at Stampex in the Old Horticultural Halls and buying the visitors book from the Royal Yacht Britannia after its decommissioning To see as many dealers in one place now in fact vastly more you visit the internet I know which venue I prefer Sign up to the free eNewsletter at www stampexinternational com
Philately under 40 THE Ones To Watch In an industry renowned for its aging demographic we are constantly on the lookout for those young bright sparks who are keen to ensure that stamp collecting has a place in the world in years to come Whilst ever revering those with long earned experience we re also watchful for the new creative minds who are changing the format of the industry bringing with them vision and style to an age old hobby It is these individuals who will ensure the longevity of philately ensuring it remains current with new generations We asked the following individuals nominated by their peers as the ones to watch to describe what philately means to each of them Here s what they had to say Constanze Dennis 29 Senior Describer Auctioneer at Grosvenor Nicholas Challinor Halford 32 Business Manager Harmers of London What philately means to you For me philately means that I am being paid to do my hobby and I m not sure that anything quite beats that As you can imagine it s a delight to be part of a circle where everyone is passionate about the same thing as me It s a world that s constantly exciting and interesting every day something new appears on my desk What philately means to you Philately is full of passionate personalities who are enthusiastic to pass on knowledge and tell stories as a people person I love this People stories and a physical connection with history is what philately means to me Victoria Lajer 34 Managing Director Philately Stanley Gibbons What philately means to you There is always something to learn and there is always someone willing to teach and share knowledge Dealing with people on a daily basis who have such a passion for their stamps and collecting areas is a real privilege Joshua Barber 32 Specialist Auctioneer Spink and Son Ltd What philately means to you To me philately and postal history give a fascinating insight into our past man s innovative and highly developed means of communication with one another As we move further from tangible paper based methods of exchange I think the manner and significance of how we have communicated in the past will appeal to new younger collectors Continued Find a PTS member at www thepts net 13
James Leigh 34 Director John Curtin Ltd What philately means to you Working with stamps for me started as career choice rather than anything resembling a passion Over the last 10 years this has come into question I find that these little bits of paper are never off my mind they are regularly the subject of my conversations and they have been my excuse for many exciting trips away I guess that stamps have become my passion and I am very grateful that they can afford me to enjoy them for many years to come Joining Rick Warren and Tim Francis at Mayfair Philatelic Auctions as a relative novice I am never ceased to be amazed by the breadth of knowledge collecting and selling provides from history to the geography of long dead countries politics and the monarchy to the simple appreciation of the variety of aesthetics through time The accessibility of material is also a huge benefit with material starting in the low pounds anyone can start a collection even in times like these the marketplace is still strong with most auction houses like us offering free catalogues posted to your home and material for sale on their website To those considering giving it a whirl I cannot recommend it highly enough stamp collecting is so much more than just a hobby it s a lifestyle and I m sold Richard Simon Walker 38 35 Founders 1st4stamps Sadie Medhurst Griffiths 31 Auctions Manager Mayfair Philatelic Auctions What philately means to you To the majority of people stamp collecting is presumed a solitary endeavour reserved for the older members of society one conjures up an image of a cantankerous grandfather pouring studiously through a dusty and aged album This image could not be further from the truth whilst the demographic is not the Instagram crowd per se the industry holds a charm that I haven t found anywhere else it isn t a marketplace it s a community Stamps hold history each piece of paper tells us a story I often like to think of the many hands they have passed through before they have reached my own and what joy they have brought to those lives whether a war time sweetheart receiving a long awaited letter or the final piece to complete a lifelong collection 14 What philately means to you Those who join the stamp collecting community aren t just starting a new hobby Stamp collecting brings people together from different generations a common interest that helps to foster relationships between the old and the young as it did with the two of us and our father For older generations it s a great way to keep your mind active and to be part of a community of like minded people For us as children it cultivated essential life skills including the ability to analyse and research Stamp collecting not only requires a level of skill and patience it s a really important part of history and by being involved in the stamp collecting community we are all playing our part in preserving and shaping this part of history for generations to come If you think there is someone else who deserves a mention have your say and tell us via social media onestowatch philatelyunder40 or email megan thepts net www thepts net

Several years ago I cautiously ventured onto social media out of curiosity Do stamp collectors exist on Twitter and Instagram Do they dare post pictures of stamps on Facebook Is anyone out there willing to discuss the latest stamp issues with me Wow I was surprised by what I found Some suggest that social media is the future of philately I believe that it is already the most important avenue for the hobby to thrive With a growing online presence philately is becoming more accessible to people to enjoy than ever before Maybe you too could be a part of this exciting movement A collective of philatelic communities are eager to share teach and learn from each other by creating a new type of content that is just perfect for philately Imagine being able to solicit feedback about a stamp or cover that you have recently acquired Perhaps you are unfamiliar with the postal markings that someone could help with or are excited to share your knowledge about the issuing of a particular set in your collection Well this can be done from your own home and with a community that spans the entire globe This includes all levels of collectors from the novice right through to the published expert It s a resource and a social club without any of the costs Here are some suggestions on how to become a part of this philatelic movement and get the most out of social media Follow great accounts There are several engaging accounts that can educate entertain and keep you in the loop with the latest in philatelic news I encourage following societies like APS RPSL and PTS These societies typically post interesting 16 content and are great sources for news and upcoming events If your local club has a social media account follow them If they don t take the lead in creating one Start following postal services The Royal Mail is particularly good at posting its new releases and providing a glimpse into the inner workings of their postal operation Look for influencers in the hobby those that have started podcasts YouTube channels creative blogs and more I have listed several great accounts to follow at www exploringstamps com gettingsocial Don t just post pictures of stamps Creative content is more than just a picture Share what you have learned about a stamp or cover and what you find interesting about it Provide simple details about the date of issue or where the item may have been postmarked Engaging content that shares a story or gives the community something to learn from provides tremendous value for your followers and the hobby Comment and share Find someone s post interesting Comment and let them know Interact with those that you are following ask questions and be curious Fantastic discussions have grown from a single post describing the imagery of the stamp Constructive encouragement builds communities so it is important to be supportive when commenting or engaging with fellow collectors Also consider sharing their post with others By retweeting on Twitter or sharing a Facebook post you are exposing the world of philately to noncollectors and potential newcomers A social media account takes minutes to set up but weeks to grow an audience so be patient Interesting content will attract a following This is the next chapter of philately and I encourage you to be a part of it https www youtube com c exploringstamps Follow the PTS at ptsandstampex on Facebook Instagram and Twitter

Market Trends by Dean Shepherd Editor Gibbons Stamp Monthly While some things are evergreen items when it comes to their popularity with collectors full margined mint Penny Blacks are never going to go out of fashion like most industries the philatelic fraternity is also susceptible to the ebbs and flows of current trends Dean Shepherd talks to industry experts to get their take on what s hot and what s not in the current philatelic market The evolution of exhibitions Anyone who has visited a philatelic exhibition over the past few years would have noticed a definite change in the number and quality of attractions that are on offer Stampex International is a very good example of how exhibitions have evolved to offer more to seasoned collectors and to attract new people to the hobby As well as the world class material in the competitive and invited displays recent exhibitions have also included a number of added extras in their itinerary A feature that has become a regular attraction at Stampex over recent years is the Court of Honour which showcases award winning displays from leading philatelists The range of material on show can mark important anniversaries such as Brian Asquith s comprehensive display celebrating the 50th anniversary of Concorde or showcase specialist material such as Frank Walton s collection of Wildings seen at Autumn Stampex 2018 Other recently introduced attractions which add something a little extra to the Stampex experience are Stamp Talks and Exhibition Tours Stamp Talks introduced to the show last year allow philatelic experts 18 to give an informal presentation about their specialist fields They proved so popular with visitors that they will be repeated for Autumn Stampex this year Exhibition Tours were introduced to allow veteran philatelists to share their expertise with visitors The tours are carried out by experts from the Association of British Philatelic Societies ABPS and offer a great way for stamp enthusiasts and novices to fully appreciate the world class material on show Collecting trends Whilst there has been a noticeable evolution in stamp exhibitions around the world over recent years the big question is have there been any changes in the kind of material that collectors actually want Speaking to the GB and Commonwealth experts at Stanley Gibbons classic India remains very popular particularly the iconic 1854 55 4a red and blue British East Africa and Malaya are still very much in demand and there has been a definite increase in interest for British Levant and Morocco Agencies Find out more about Stampex at www stampexinternational com
Auctions range to offer what SG describe as a premium auction experience These auctions are reserved for the finest material from around the world offering the jewels of global philately Generally speaking classic issues printed by Perkins Bacon seem to be coming back in favour but quality is of utmost importance Revenue stamps and high value postage stamps used fiscally are definitely showing signs of growth Queen Victoria for GB remains as popular as ever along with Edward VII There are also signs of increasing popularity for revenue and Cinderella material Postal history also seems to be getting more and more popular with collectors evidenced by the increase of competition entries in this category According to Stanley Gibbons the concept of usage has been gaining traction amongst collectors for the last five to ten years High quality pieces will always find a home and there has been a definite surge of interest in postal history from the Arabian Gulf area pre stamp GB postal stationery in exceptional quality has also been selling well Major philatelic auction houses have stated that they are seeing a definite shift to classic stamps and early pre decimal Queen Elizabeth material over recent times Echoing previous comments on quality they confirm that collectors are now more discerning about the standard of the material they are buying While there is demand for Queen Elizabeth un mounted mint for example hinged items however light are apparently not performing well One area of GB collecting that is gaining traction across all reigns including modern GB is errors varieties and inverted watermarks Quality Quality Quality In summary while the hierarchy of popular collecting fields remain relatively unchanged over recent years collectors are focusing their attention and their buying power on more high end quality items a trend that I am sure is only going to become more important in the coming years As for favoured countries demand for India and China remains strong Stamp collecting in both countries has been very popular for many years The main difference today is that the number of people who can afford to purchase higher end material has increased dramatically in the last 20 years Under the hammer Auction houses have also seen a shift to more high end material Last year Stanley Gibbons introduced a Signature Find out more about Stampex at www stampexinternational com 19
Perhaps London 2022 is rather more realistic When we started the year with the final preparations for London 2020 underway no one could have foreseen a global pandemic The coronavirus has swept through the country indeed the world and brought about a dramatic change in how we work how we connect with people and how we go about our day to day lives The government lockdown and social distancing advice has meant that a number of sporting events and shows have been cancelled including London 2020 The good news from the organising committee is that in working with the PTS they have cemented new dates for the show 19 26 February 2022 The International will replace the Spring 2022 Stampex exhibition They have also been liaising with the London 2020 FIP Consultant Bernard Jimenez regarding the exhibitions As a result the F d ration Internationale de Philat lie FIP has agreed to move all classes apart from the literature class which will be finalised in 2020 to carry forward to London 2022 Frank Walton Chairman of London 2020 comments Since announcing the change in date we have had positive feedback from all over the world Collectors commissioners dealers and philatelic bodies have all shared with me their enthusiasm that we have been able to confirm an alternative date We are delighted with the teamwork between the London 2020 Organising Committee the FIP and the PTS and pleased that the show will go on We look forward to welcoming everyone to London 2022 All information on London 2022 can currently be found on 20 20 www london2020 co

You have spent years and probably some of your hard earned money putting a collection together on a subject that interests you Why not show it to others so that they too can enjoy the fruits of your labour and perhaps learn from it Why not also get some recognition for the work you have done and maybe ideas from friends on how you could take it further There are many ways in which you can exhibit your collection from giving a display to a local club to entering international exhibitions If you prefer not to exhibit competitively you are free to organise your display in whatever way suits you best But if you decide to enter competitions you will need to follow their rules on frame numbers and classes You will also need to think carefully about what exactly you want to show and how you want to construct your exhibit to illustrate your theme to best advantage There is extensive guidance available on putting competitive exhibits together and on what judges will be looking for If you would like further information a good starting point is the ABPS website www abps org uk Exhibitions in the UK are organised by regional Federations and Associations and at national level Stampex and Northern National All exhibitors are welcome to enter a national exhibition either competitively or noncompetitively An advantage of entering competitively is that you will receive feedback from the judges on how your exhibit could be developed further It is often said that exhibiting is the best way to learn about your own collection as it obliges you to study it in detail This can be hard work but also very rewarding Apart from the pleasure that creating your exhibit will give you today it will stimulate the next generation of collectors Eventually they may be the people who will want to buy your collection Find out more about Stampex at www stampexinternational com 27 27
Forming an exhibit Thinking of putting together an exhibit but unsure where to start Here Graham Winters FRPSL Chairman of the ABPS shares his top ten tips for success 1 Decide on your subject and the class in which you wish to exhibit it Some subjects may not be appropriate for some classes for example sports do not always fit well with Thematic rules 2 Decide on the way you wish to treat your subject what story do you want to tell Some subjects may be treated in different ways for example airmails can be aerophilatelic with information about planes pilots airlines etc or concentrate on just the postal history routes rates and markings 3 Read the rules carefully Make sure you understand the mark scheme how many marks for each section Most have marks for a Treatment b Knowledge c Research d Importance e Rarity f Condition g Presentation 4 Always talk to someone who has experience of judging exhibiting the class you are intending to enter 5 Find key references sources For instance internet searches library newspapers magazines study papers photographs maps official documents letters speeches films It is a good idea to write something yourself about your subject 6 You need to decide how to treat your subject you need an eye catching original approach Make sure the story keeps moving along don t repeat things or get bogged down Don t make my mistake by including too many multiple rates 7 Decide on your presentation method matting border lines use of colour etc How will you indicate rarity 28 8 What will you write in your Synopsis Purpose Maximum of 2 pages 9 Create a flow chart spider diagram to help planning This is like an essay planning exercise 10 Place rare and important items in prominent positions 11 Spend a lot of time on the first page This page is key This is the page that you can guarantee the judges will read It needs to include a Introduction b Plan of exhibit c Main reference d A nice item 12 Remember to use running headings Section heading paragraphs are a good idea or whole pages in multi frame exhibits 13 Don t forget a conclusion Stories must have an end philatelic ones are no exception These are just some ideas intended to help with forming an exhibition They will work across all classes There has recently been a decline in the number of exhibitors and to improve this the ABPS has introduced several new classes including Ephemera Maximaphily Astrophilately Modern It is hoped that this will bring more fun to exhibiting attract some new people Check out my new Vlogs on how to exhibit here https www youtube com channel UCuj1QjnJtPHSv7omCr_XH3A www thepts net
180 years of the P enny B lack 2020 Marks 180 Years Since the First Adhesive Stamp Here we take a brief look at the history of the Penny Black and offer a rare glimpse of two Mint Blocks held in private hands The Penny Black invented in Great Britain was the first ever adhesive stamp The stamp features a profile of the young Queen Victoria and revolutionised modern communication when it first went into circulation on 6th May 1840 The World s First Postage Stamp was whereby postal charges were paid by the recipient After taking a substantial report to Parliament Hill helped slash the cost of posting a letter As a result the pre paid Uniform One Penny Post was introduced in the UK on 10 January 1840 It was an immediate success and the volume of mail posted rose rapidly To demonstrate that the postage had been paid Hill introduced the concept of adhesive postage stamps He utilised the skills of Perkins Bacon Co leading printers of cheques and banknotes at the time who formed a design that could be stuck on the front of a letter This proved such a simple and useful innovation that it spread around the world Despite all the changes that have taken place in communications technology since stamps remain in general use today 180 years later These two Mint Blocks show wonderful examples of the Penny Black These blocks both held in a private collection are worth an estimated 1 million each The Karl Louis Index states that there are only three blocks recorded two from plate 1b and one from plate 4 These are amongst the most valuable British philatelic items in the world created to satisfy the demand for rapidly transmitted messages at an affordable price The Penny Black inspired a revolution in the postal service led by Sir Rowland Hill and transformed communications across the world Hill and his colleagues led a campaign in the late 1830s to abolish the old postal system www thepts net 29
SORTING OUT YOUR GB IMPERFORATE PENNY REDS This is the first of several articles by PTS Council Member Bill Barrell of Bill Barrell Ltd focusing on classifying and identifying that most common humble yet intriguing of British stamps the GB Queen Victoria 1d red SG7 44 It is not a difficult issue to understand if a logical approach is taken This first article will look at the imperforate stamps subsequent articles will look at plating and the later perforated issues The first 1d reds were issued in February 1841 SG7 and were printed from seven black plates Until 1854 all 1d black plates and the first 200 1d red plates were made using the original Die 1 From 1855 all 1d plates were made using Die 2 But what does this mean How can we tell the die and why is this important As we will later move onto the perforated issues we will need to be able to tell the difference between Die 1 and Die 2 so lets look at this right now Having been used for 14 years the original Die was now starting to show signs of wear so in November 1854 an impression from this older Die was taken and recut to create a new Die called Die 2 and from this Die 2 a new series of plates were made commencing again with plate number 1 g g Fig 1 Proof from an early Die 1 plate Fig 2 Proof in black from the 1855 Die 2 Fig 3 Piece with combination of both Dies The stamp at upper right lettered LE is from Die 2 the other two stamps are from Die 1 Fig 4 1855 Die 2 1d plate 7 error imperforate a real rarity and one to look out for DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN DIE 1 AND DIE 2 It is pretty safe to assume that all your 1d red imperforates are from Die 1 all your 1d blacks most certainly will be So let us study these stamps to understand and clearly recognise Die 1 This is a great starting point in understanding the penny red and will reward the collector Fig 1 is a proof imprimatur from an early Die 1 plate in red brown lettered SG Fig 2 is a proof in black from the newly created Die 2 Compare them also compare them with your 1d imperforates which should be from Die 1 and notice the overall stronger impression of Die 2 There are smaller differences that are very helpful and in the Stanley Gibbons Queen Victoria specialised catalogue SG illustrate 15 differences between the dies some are more noticeable than others I particularly look for the recut penultimate curl of the Queen s hair see arrows above Fig 3 shows an interesting and very scarce piece with three later 1d perforate issues showing a combination of the two dies Notice the much stronger appearance of that lettered LE The one exception relating to all imperforate issued stamps being Die 1 is an incredibly rare error the later 1855 Die 2 ERROR IMPERFORATE strong impression but imperforate see Figure 4 This item is from Die 2 plate 7 listed but unpriced by SG as SG26a This is certainly worth knowing about and looking for the last discovery was several years ago by a collector from Germany TOP TOP tip when sorting GB line engraved used stamps blacks blues and reds are tough pieces of paper and provided they have no repairs or damage it is quite ok to put them into clean water to remove any rubbish on the reverse to help identify the watermark 30 30 Fig 4 Watermark upright ALL YOUR IMPERFORATES SHOULD HAVE SMALL CROWN WATERMARK see Fig 4 maybe you will find one with error watermark inverted see Fig 5 Find out more about Stampex at www stampexinternational com Fig 5 Watermark inverted
Fig 6 Learn your alphabets alphabet 1 letters above alphabet 2 letters below If these images are not clear or large enough for you please email as below for better pictures DISTINGUISHING BETWEEN ALPHABET 1 ALPHABET 2 So with your Die 1 1d reds to hand we are now going to subdivide them between those with alphabet 1 check letters and those with alphabet 2 check letters The alphabet 1 check letters in the lower squares are small the alphabet 2 are broader and usually slightly larger see images above I have carefully selected actual stamps rather than time worn drawings When sorted you will now be ready to attempt plating Those with the smaller alphabet 1 check letters will be from Die 1 plates 1 to 131 those with the broader alphabet 2 check letters will be from plates 132 onwards Top Tip re alphabet sorting all your 1d blacks and almost all of your imperforate 1d reds with the Maltese cross cancellation will have alphabet 1 letters Top Tip re alphabet sorting some letters are easier than others the letters G and H are the most difficult learn about these more problematic letterings when in combination with more obvious alphabet 2 letterings such as A B Q or R Plating of the imperforates The alphabet 1 stamps will generally be easier to plate than those with alphabet 2 there is more known about them there are more constant varieties more information they have been studied in greater depth and the impressions are usually clearer The next article will look in greater depth at plating but a few pointers here to guide you Plating is to assign the stamp to its original plate based upon certain characteristics and usually adds value and interest What are these characteristics Colour or shade of stamp certain shades suggest certain periods of printing and therefore certain plates Plating varieties position of the check letters constant varieties plate alignment Plating resources Brown Fisher imprimatur images important books such as SG spec cat The most prominent variety is found on Die 1 plate 77 where the engraver omitted to insert the check letter A in the lower right corner square on the second stamp on the second row Fig 7 It was soon noticed and the letter A was inserted Fig 8 Approximately 30 examples of this error are thought to exist no unused examples are known but two exist on cover Fig 7 Fig 8 This series of articles will include plating perforated issues and stamps that break the rules These articles will be revealed on the Stampex website stampexinternational com and will be shared in the free Stampex eNewsletter Please do email should you want to chat bill barrell co uk or alternatively I will be at Stampex and on the Friday will be hosting a day Line engraved made easy where leading experts will be at hand to answer your queries Find out more about Stampex at www stampexinternational com 31 31
What will auctions of the future look like The world of philately has changed dramatically in recent years Where once collectors visited their local dealers to secure the best pieces they now increasingly rely on the expertise of online portals and international auction houses Not least because they have access to marketplaces all over the world This makes the selection particularly large and attractive Online auctions are absolutely trendy A leading company in this field is the online portal philasearch com More than five years ago its founders made it their business to turn the whole world into an auction room We talked to the managing director Franz Fedra who has been in the field of philately for over 40 years Mr Fedra what forms of auctions are there in the online sector Basically there are two forms a dealer or auction house list their lots online including pictures and descriptions the customers inspect them virtually and make their bids which we then forward to the auction organizer On the day of the floor auction these bids are incorporated on site Variation number two and my absolute favourite is the online live auction For this the customer registers free of charge on philasearch com At the time of the online auction the server then takes over the task of an auctioneer it calls up the lots at a moderate speed so that the collector has time to think about it do they want to bid and up to what amount Of course they can also turn in a written highest bid for these lots beforehand in addition However 32 the auction house is not aware of the bid amount in contrast to the first variation Why are online live auctions your favorite They simply offer the collector more leeway Even if they have made a written bid they can still enter the auction if they discover that someone has outbid them on their lot of choice Many collectors also appreciate the fact that their pre bid is not known to the dealer I know this from many conversations And on top of that an online live auction is very exciting How can I be sure to get good goods at online auctions We at philasearch com set a high value on excellent images and descriptions of the lots This ensures that nobody will buy a pig in a poke In addition we are always ready to assist our customers www thepts net
