The 45th issue of The New CartoPhilatelist has been dispatched to members. All hard copy members will again be receiving their journals shipped via HP’s MagCloud PoD service. We have decided to continue using MagCloud for both hard copy printing and distribution. The 45th issue is full of fascinating articles, news, and images. Be sure to check out the contents of this exciting issue. Some highlights in this issue are the start of a very interesting issue about the Historic Canadian Forts issues of the 1980’s and 1990’s, by James C. Hamilton. Ap Koopman reports on Surtsey – Iceland’s youngest island and its depiction on a new stamp issue from 2013. President Emeritus Miklos Pinther sends us a book review of Simon Garfield’s “On the Map” and also introduces us to the “Highway Post office” a very unique bit of history of the US Postal Service which operated from 1941 until 1974. Phil Coop introduces us to state revenue stamps from the USA with maps and a new catalog of the State Revenue Society. Ann Kiang Kee sends us a note about Bosnia-Herzegovina and the 20 page issue wraps up with Society News by President Mark Honig, and New Issues and MoS Checklist updates by David Wolfersberger.
The dispatch of the 44th issue of The New CartoPhilatelist marks a turning point for the Society. This issue was printed and dispatched directly to all of our hardcopy members, both domestic and international, using HP’s MagCloud Service. The first issue of the new year starts out with a detailed article by Ap Koopman about The Chamizal Dispute regarding the border between the USA and Mexico. The article traces the dispute over time, culminating with the treaty signed in 1963 and depicted in a stamp issue. Continue reading TNCP 44 Dispatched to Members

After a discussion with the Officers, the Forum and CPS Exchange pages have been removed. Unfortunately the Forum was not largely used and became difficult to manage due to spam posts. The CPS Exchange was dormant for a number of years and did not take off as was hoped. If you are interested in participating in an online philatelic community, please have a look at these two, very fine forum sites: Stampboards, a very active, large and well established site, and also Stamp Exchange, a newer and increasingly active forum. Please note that the CPS is not endorsing either of this forums, but only wanting to pass along this information to our members. There have also been updates to the base software which runs our site. Please use the contact form if you are having problems or any questions about our site.

As many of our members know, we use HP’s MagCloud “print on demand” service for printing of the hardcopy TNCP journals. Recently we began investigating the use of MagCloud to also handle the packaging and shipping of those journals to our members. The shipping, to some members, of the October issue was carried out by MagCloud as a trial. While this has worked very well from initial feedback, we recently discovered that a few digital members may have received a printed October issue. We apologize to those digital members that were surprised upon receipt of a hardcopy issue. If you unexpectedly received a hardcopy issue, please keep it as an example of MagCloud’s high-quality printing service. For those members that regularly receive a printed Journal, we would like to hear if there were any issues regarding the packaging or delivery of your October issue. Please contact us with your feedback.

As the Society is international in scope, we have various members that can sometimes volunteer translation resources. The original publishers along with Society President Mark Honig and Journal Editor Martin Oakes worked a significant amount of time on refining the translation and adapting the format for our Journal. Their efforts really show! For those of you that have non-english articles and would like to see them translated and published in The New CartoPhilatelist please contact our Editor Martin Oakes.
