The Brazil Philatelic Association.
Brazil Philatelic Association (APS Affiliate 32) founded in 1968. A growing organization with 125 worldwide members. We publish the quarterly Bull's Eyes journal. The journal's name reflects Brazil's first postage issue in 1843 of 30, 60, and 90 reis stamps. Each stamp value had a circular design looking like bull's eyes. Each journal features a 150-lot auction, a question-and-answer column, a summary of recent auction results, new issues information, and a wide variety of research articles. Our library has over 100 issues of the Bull's Eyes.
For this show's annual convention, the Association plans include a Friday dinner and a membership meeting with program. The Association invites you to stop by Table E and learn more about Brazilian collecting. We have free literature and members available to evaluate your Brazilian material. We also invite you to view at NAPEX 97 the fine examples of Brazilian collections on exhibit.

The Perfins Club
The Perfins Club, Inc. (APS Affiliate 57) founded in 1943. We are an organization of philatelists, devoted to the collection and study of Perforated Initials and Insignia in postage stamps. The club has about 900 collectors who have compiled a masssive amount of information about U.S. and foreign perfins. Perfins are easy to get, fun to collect, and present many different ways to specialize. The club has recorded over 6,000 patterns of U.S. perfins with about 40,000 known worldwide. The area is largely unexplored and examples generally inexpensive. Collections can be by type pattern, postage issue, company covers, or topics. Topics include banks, schools, and auto, rail, or insurance companies. The Perfins Bulletin keeps members informed and in touch with each other 10 times a year. The club offers illustrated catalogs for U.S. perfins and several for other countries. The World Perfin Catalog covers the remaining countries which have few perfins. Other services include a directory, auctions, slide programs, speakers bureau, special awards, library and our annual convention. Visit NAPEX 97 Table D.
