Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society
The year 2014 marked the 50th anniversary of the first year of operation of the Germany & Colonies Philatelic Society following the amalgamation of the Germany & Colonies Stamp Club (established 1947) and the Stockton German Study Group (1960).

The G&CPS celebrated its inaugural year in 1964 with the first Germania Posta philatelic exhibition held in Stockton.

Message: The easiest way to acquire these is by purchasing them on eBay (where you also can look over what has been sold, and at what prices. I recently paid pretty much full price on eBay for a new Michel Airmail & Zeppelin Catalog from a U.S. dealer: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?MfcISAPICommand=ViewItem&item=1386870260 But I also bought a 1999 Germany Specialized last April for $24.50, and last November I bought a Michel Briefe Deutschland 1982 from a dealer in Germany for just $5, including postage, and a Ganzsachen-Katalog Deutschland 1993 from a seller in Aachen for only $11 postpaid. One caveat: when Michel made the transition from deutschemarks to euros, it either deliberately or "accidentally" revised a good many of its values, some of them quite dramatically. You've no way of telling which items are affected if you acquire the old DM-valued catalogs, though they remain perfectly good for reference. Good hunting!
