CPS Resource CentreThe 4th meeting of the CartoPhilatelic Society was held during the APS Stamp Show 2010 in Richmond VA, August 12 – 15, 2010. The Richmond show was extensive, with at least 150 dealers and over 900 exhibit frames.
Three members of the Society, attended the meeting in Richmond on August 14. Martin Oakes, the editor of the Society’s Journal demonstrated a new macro that he is developing that will allow users to integrate an updated Excel version of the Map on Stamps Checklist with the user’s personal copy of an older version. Sometime the user will annotate the checklist with notes and additional information. The macro will allow a smooth integration of the old and new Checklists without losing personal comments or creating duplicate entries.
Martin expects the macro to be completed by year-end. It was decided to issue Rev. 5 of the Checklist to coincide with the completion of the macro.
We also discussed the possibility of using MagCloud to print and distribute The New CartoPhilatelist. An actual test was carried out using MagCloud to produce the October 2010 issue. The group also discussed having the Checklist available to members online.
