FOR NOTICING:

• In the very beginning, there was neither rules no evaluation in points, only medails were given (Finlandia 88, India 89, New Zealand 90) • Not every FIP Exhibition had a Revenue Class • The limits of the Revenue Class were first unclear or ”sliding”: for example (postal) railway and telegraph stamps and telegrams were shown • In some cases that kind of non-fiscal exhibit were transferred to another classes , sometimes not (transfers are hard to clear as Palmares lists are not uniform) • When evaluated as revenue exhibit , an exhibit is included in the list, when not, it is excluded

ALSO FOR NOTICING:

• A single exhibit can have been shown under different titles ; all these ” title varieties ” are mentioned on the list, although the exhibit is counted only once • Revenue literature (shown in literature class) is excluded • The list doesn’t include Continental Exhibitions FIAF and FIAP – they are another project!

CONCLUSION

In the future, FIP Revenue Commission as well as all us revenue collectors should draw our attention to: 1) Ensure that Revenue Classes of the future FIP Exhibitions are wide enough 2) Activate those FIP Countries philately who are not active in fiscal 3) Encourage one-time exhibitors exhibiting not to stop but continue
