Looking ahead to Oh-Six

The Stamp Collecting Report, I'm Lloyd de Vries. 

In two years, stamp collectors from around the world will be coming to Washington for a 
major stamp show.

"We have lots of stamp shows around the country every year, but only one what they call 
a World Philatelic Exhibition, once every 10 years."
RUNS :09

And Steve Luster and the rest of the Washington Two Thousand Six Committee have ALREADY 
been working on this "international" for a decade. Get ready to see some really rare 
stamps.

"Internationals and particularly ones in big countries like the United States, tend to 
draw in the best exhibits from around the world."
RUNS :09

In fact, it will have more of everything than you're likely to see at any other U-S 
stamp show for...well, for a decade.

"It's just on a grander scale, much larger than a normal show that might have 
40, 50, 60 dealers, including foreign postal administrations, we'll have around 
200."
RUNS :09

So mark your calendars now

And that's Stamp Collecting this week. 

I'm Lloyd de Vries, CBS News.
