Andreadis wins the World Stamp Championship

Last night during the Israel 2018 WSC Palmares, Stavros Andreadis was voted by the Jury the FIP World Stamp Champion. He received 18 votes out of 24. Stavros’ “Kassandra” renowned collection is the best exhibit on the Large Hermes Heads of Greece ever presented to the public. He won Large Gold in his first participation in an FIP exhibition, in Espana 2004. He then won consecutive LGs in Washington 2006, Portugal 2010 (also candidate for the Grand Prix International) and New York 2016 (also candidate for the Grand Prix d’Honneur).
