The largest gathering of collectors in Central and Eastern Europe will take place again this year on September 5-6 2025 at the PVA Expo Letňany fairground. More than 230 exhibitors from all over the world will offer stamps, coins, medals, banknotes, postcards, but also old stocks or autographs. Many of them are coming to Prague for the first time. Visitors can also look forward to an interesting accompanying programme.
During the year you can also visit the Spring Sberatel Fair or the Christmas Sberatel Fair and follow what’s happening in the world of collecting on collectornews.info.
Last year there was displayed the “Titanic Facing slip” from R.M.S. Titanic (Royal Mail Ship Titanic).
Before sailing from Southampton, more than six million letters and postcards were embarked, bound from Europe via England to North America.
Amongst these letters was an address label that belonged directly to the ship’s post office. Among collectors, it is referred to as the “Titanic Facing slip”, the address slip that the ship’s mail went through. This particular one was postmarked on sailing from Southampton just four days before the tragedy, and was stamped with the personal stamp of the clerk of the shipboard post office “O.S. WOODY” (on the picture) and with the line stamp “TITANIC”. It is thus a unique testimony to a historic disaster.
The address label with the Titanic postmark of April 1912 is small in size but large in value. There are only thirty such labels in the world, of which only ten are available on the open market. The other tickets are held by prestigious museums and institutions. It’s something of a holy grail for collectors of various specialties, not just philatelists.
The Titanic artifact was on display at the Sberatel Fair in a generous display with a range of engaging information.
The Czech Post was offering a commemorative postcard depicting the famous “Titanic Facing slip” from the Titanic at the fair.
A stamp sheet with coupons issued directly by the Czech Post in its own production, was on sale at the Czech Post stand.
0 euro souvenir with a picture of the famous ship was also on sale. The banknote is also interesting because it is the first 0 euro souvenir completely created by artificial intelligence!
Extravagant drop and typical Czech food at the Czech Post stand
A postage stamp with the motif of the first Czechoslovak aerodynamic car Wikov 35 Kapka had its premiere at the Sberatel 2024 fair. The four-seater two-door sedan was introduced to the public in 1931 at the Prague Motor Show.
Only a few original cars with streamlined bodywork were produced.
You could also buy the new Gastronomy stamp sheet by artist Jiří Slíva, which consists of two motifs of ‘typical Czech dishes’. A separate coupon depicts the beer, which must not be missed with Czech food.
The premiere of an incuse strike at the Sberatel Fair – the unique Czech Lion mintage. On classic medals or coins, you can find a relief that protrudes from the mint surface. So-called incuse strike differ from these at first glance because their motif is recessed on at least one side. In the 21st century, incuse strike is rare – it gives coins and medals a novel look and is thus considered a technological and artistic rarity.
A limited edition 0 euro souvenir “Peter Pan” was on sale at the fair – the print run was only 1,000 pieces!
A new booklet of stamps dedicated to the 225th anniversary of the birth of geologist and paleontologist Joachim Barrande made also its premiere in the autumn Sberatel Fair 2024.
A commemorative envelope were available for collectors at the UN Postal Administration booth.
The commemorative postcard of the German Post for 2024 Sberatel fair.
On Friday afternoon, the Czech Post hold “mega-autograph show” of artists with whom it cooperates.
At the stand of the Kyrgyz Post, visitors could buy a stamp which, with its 184 mm width, is officially the longest postage stamp in the world. It represents the Chaar-Tash Mountains, the Toguz-Toro Tract and the village of Kazarman.
A commemorative postcard with a dinosaur motif issued especially for Sberatel 2024 fair by the Kyrgyz Express Post. On both days, it was possible to get the signature of the artist Daria Maier, who has been creating postage stamps for Kyrgyz Express Post for a long time.
At the Slovak Post stand could find a sheet of stamps with a personalised coupon for this year’s Sberatel fair.
The Sberatel Fair attracted a lot of media interest . Czech Television and Czech Radio provide live coverage of the event, and news about the Sberatel appeared on the main news on CNN TV Prima, and TV Nova.
The Prague Gem and Mineral Show, which accompanies the Sberatel Fair every year, has grown into a separate hall this year. Visitors were able to buy precious stones, minerals, jewellery or just get inspiration for home creations.
Traditionally, the Vinyl & Stereo Expo and the Rock & Metal Market is also held alongside the Sberatel Fair on Saturday. Collectors could find rare records from nearly forty dealers from all over Europe, CDs, cassettes and music memorabilia.
