CPC Free F’rall 2025
What the Heck Is It ?
Application and Further Details are here:
The CPC Free F’rall is a casual setting for local collectors, of any age, to show a “Frame” (16 pages) of your collecting passion with no competition and no judging.
It is Free and For All regardless of your exhibiting experience.
The Free F’rall is a rolling exhibition over the two days of the show, so you can put your stuff up in your frame when you get there and take it down when you leave, either on Friday or Saturday, or on both days if you want.
We will also have a hospitality event Friday Evening from 6pm to 8pm on the show floor. It will be free for you and your family as well as for our dealers and club members. A relaxed time for collectors of all things interesting to get together and swap fish that got away stories. Great food along with libations ….
Anything - what you strut only needs to be two dimensional ephemera related to communication, history or commerce. That means we like to see all kinds of things in addition to stamps, including postcards, billheads, advertising and trade cards, cinderellas, photographs, exposition souvenirs, travel memorabilia, valentines, you get the idea, pretty much anything cool like that is acceptable.
Anyway - your flash does not need to be a formal exhibit, but neatly mounted with some identification, explanation and history would be nice. If you want to try to do something involved you may, but there will be no judging and no awards and no competition. Innovation and humor are desired and gratefully appreciated.
Anyhow - Sports, Pokemon and other similar gaming and card gizmos respectfully declined. Entries trying to make social or political statements summarily declined. Sneak something in that pokes any bears and I’ll personally hang a yellow tarp with a fallout shelter symbol over your frame. The Columbus Philatelic Club reserves the right to decline any Frame Reservation Request for any reason whatsoever.
