GREECE! Let us explain what we mean.... well, as we can all admit, a lot of our culture, foods, sciences....are all in some way or another derived from GREECE! We at mitochondria269 believe and are convinced that PHILATELY has also its roots in GREECE! You might feel astonished! WHY? Ever heard of the SPETSIOTIS FRERES? Well this was one of the first people to actually start philatelic business worldwide!!! Yes! That young gentleman, who struggled all his life to spread the taste, the joy and the desire for collecting stamps. All of us must admit, this wasn't easy, because the way of communication at that time, the way of transportation at that time, of course no internet and no scheduled flights, but SPETSIOTIS FRERES (SF) was able to create philatelic market worldwide and respected his commitment for all new-born philatelists worldwide. Many of the big names we hear today about were starter dealers with him! Examples: BOREK, THEODOR CHAMPION from 13. Rue Drouot, SIGER and even strong names from Strand at that time.... Mr SPETSIOTIS FRERES (SF) was Greek but he was able to communicate in every language for all his dealers worldwide in English, French, Russian, Czech, German, and not only that! But he was also able to calculate buying selling currencies such as Belgian Francs to equivalent of Great Britain pence at that time. It was a long journey for him during all his years of life to create that philatelic market, that we all now enjoy and millions and millions of collectors worldwide created! Thank you Thank you Mr. SPETSIOTIS FRERES! (SF) How do we know this? Well....if you take a closer look, you will notice that the beautiful cover we are offering you today and other covers offered to you on our site, had all been sent from around 1890 to 1920 to the one and only GREEK SPETSIOTIS FRERES....SF! INDEED YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS NO ADDRESS, JUST HIS NAME AND ATHENS AND THAT'S IT! THIS SHOWS HOW FAMOUS HE ACTUALLY WAS! Actually, if you have ever seen the Initials SF on any of your stamps, you can be sure that they were in SPETSIOTIS Freres' hands one day and thus genuine! :) Happy bidding!!!
