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.
I am helping an elder friend who has been collecting stamps for over 70 years. In his stamp book he has several pages of unused German stamps. Quite a few are Overprinted with a number and "Laufend". Ho do I if these are valuable.
Thanks, Denni
