Excellent exhibit

Well laid out and very meaningful

A real credit to you, I really like how you have used many areas of philately

• stamps
• postmarks
• postcards
• trial proofs

Mei Jun, Congratulations on obtaining vermeil at the Olympic Exhibition.:)) Your display is great to read, I saw the whole of it in the gallery .:)
Thematic displays are probably the most difficult discipline as you have to include the largest variety of philatelic items so it can take many years to accumulate enough material. .8)

Hi Mei Jun,

please, receive my compliments for your exhibit. Above all, I appreciated the variety of items inserted into pages, according to one of the main rules of a thematic exhibit. Really nice the draft proof, a great item.
If you permit, I have some observation.

First of all.. it's not a rule, but usually the postal stationery cards have to be shown at all: in two cases, you use to cover part of them with other items. You did right to don't cover the stamp and the illustration, you covered only the address. But in some cases, it's useful to read also the address, because thanks to destination you can understand the rate, above all when on the card one or more stamps are present.

Then, on 1.3 chatpter you show two stationery cards. The thematic elements are not the postal stationeries, but the words on reverse (Darthmout Football Club and Junior Football Club). But, are these postal prints? Or, maybe, are they printed privately? It seems to me that thay are private (requipages), not postal, so, in this case, they cannot be used to illustrate that thematic passage, You could write this in caption, to be honestly, but the rules are really clear, in this case.

Then, I don't understand the item on chapter 2.3. You wrote that it's a stationery, but it seems to me only a postcard sent free franked POW. In this case, the unique philatelic elements are the postmarks on reverse, but the illustration on the front would be a private print, not postal. And in this case, the thematic element is not illustrated by a postal item, but only by a private part of it. Please, let me know much more about this item..

Cheers, Marco.

Hi Mei Jun,

not so much to say for these last pages: great the philatelic studies inside the thematic treatment.
Just some little observation.

On chapter 3.1 "The Balls", probably the red meter stamp could be windowed to save space, as you done on other pages.

On chapter 3.4 "Jersey an shorts" there is another item with private prints useful for thematic illustration. Also in this case, the private printing Muehlberg Clothing is useful for you to illustrate this thematic passage, but I suppose that this stationery card was printed by Germany postal administration without that prints. So, we can repeat what said for previous items.

On chapter 4.1 "Shape of field", probably, the mechanical cancel could be windowed to save space.

However, as you have well understand, these observation are really deep: your pages are really great.

Kind regards, Marco

i really appreciate the time you spent on this exhibit.

Very nice exhibit. I love to see proofs and essays mixed in with the other items.

A great exhibit very nicely presented

Awesome!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mei Jun, Don't worry about having difficulties with the language, and don't be upset by the judgemental comments, you did a great job and I wish you future luck joking

The time you put into the assembly and careful layout and story telling are so well done, it is amazing. Both you and Marco are in a class of experts which I respect and I would seek your advice not the other way around. Outstanding!!

Thank you very much.Hope to have the opportunity to exchange.
