The American First Day Cover Society (APS affiliate UN003) has debuted a new feature to match its members by collecting interests, and to seek out wanted philatelic items.
With the new “Member Connect” benefit, members may submit their collecting interests in a secure area of the AFDCS website, accessible only to other members. There is no charge for the service.
More from AFDCS:
An individual’s Member Connect entry may include any topic of general philatelic or FDC interest, or can be used to seek specific items (such as "want ZIP block on FDC for Sc. 1306"). There is a limit of 25 words per listing, and one listing per member. Members can submit changes or delete their listings at any time. Member Connect can be found in the Members Area of the website, accessed via the “Member Login” button on the homepage. AFDCS members who do not already have access to this area can request it by sending their names and membership numbers via email. In that same area, members can download copies of First Days, a full-color magazine published six times a year by the AFDCS. The organization also publishes handbooks, catalogues and a free directory of current cachetmakers, cosponsors an annual stamp show, and otherwise promotes first day cover collecting.
