Classified Ads
Classified ads are a time-proven, cost-effective way to reach APS members. Many dealers run classified ads year round in conjunction with their display ads.

To calculate the cost of your classified ad, you must first figure the number of lines your ad will require. One line equals 34 characters, counting all letters, numerals, punctuation, and blank spaces between words. Your cost will then be determined by the number of months you want the ad to run. Consult the table below to find your cost.

Advertising in The American Philatelist is open to APS members only. Please remember to include your APS number when submitting a classified ad. Unlike the display ads, classifieds must be paid in advance. No change of copy. No refunds.

Classified ad renewals are accepted by phone, fax, or e-mail if charged to your VISA or MasterCard. Please include your card number, expiration date, v-code, and your address. We do not accept phone calls for placement of NEW ads.

New classified copy must be submitted by fax, e-mail, or by writing to: AP Classifieds, 100 Match Factory Place, Bellefonte, PA 16823. Or you can use our easy online form.

Inserts
The AP can accommodate a variety of inserts. We offer the option of “bind in” or “blown in” inserts. Call us with details of your promotional piece, and we’ll be happy to provide further information and an estimate of the cost.

If you are considering any promotional insert, it is strongly recommended that you phone for our specifications prior to having the insert printed.

If your insert does not meet our specifications, we cannot be held responsible if problems arise during production. This can become very costly if the press must be stopped, as you will be charged for downtime. That’s why it is important to call us first!

Online Dealer Mall/Rotating Banner Ads
Are you an APS Dealer Member with a website? By joining the APS Dealer Mall, your rotating banner ads will appear on several APS web pages, in addition to your listing in the Dealer Mall section. The low annual fee is $120. Fill out the online form at or e-mail Doris Wilson for further details.

The Philatelic Literature Review
This is the perfect place for philatelic literature dealers to advertise!

The PLR is the official journal of the American Philatelic Research Library and its articles reflect the interests of philatelic literature collectors. The PLR’s nearly 2,725 subscribers include libraries around the world, enlarging its potential readership. Published quarterly, it is kept as a reference volume so your ad will be seen over and over again.
