American Philatelic Society (APS) Director of Expertizing, Ken Martin speaks on “Blood: The Gift of Life. An Introduction to Thematic Exhibiting.”
He covers the development of his thematic exhibit, sharing both the good and bad techniques. The spark for this collection came from the intersection of two of his greatest pursuits, that of a lifelong stamp collector and a five hundred-time (yes 500!) blood donor.
The result was an interesting history of the subject seen in stamps, covers, and other related ephemera. Ken was also available to answer questions about expertizing and the APS from attendees.
