🇦🇬 Antigua And Barbuda -

  Somewhat surprisingly I think, WOPA, the Gibraltar-based organisation which eases the sale at face value of philatelic items to collectors, has admitted the sales of philatelic products from Antigua and Barbuda to the growing list of territories it covers. Almost every philatelic product which is released by, or in the name of, the Antigua and Barbuda postal service is produced by and distributed by the New York-based organisation, Intergovernmental Philatelic Corporation (IGPC), so it will be interesting to see from whence these WOPA-ordered products are dispatched to buyers - New York or Antigua.

  🇶🇦 Collectors may also be interested to read that WOPA has also recently included Qatar Post on the list of postal authorities with which it deals.
