Where do I get all the info ?
Basically, all the info mentioned on this website, has been gathered from documentation that I have identified. As you can see through this site, the info about Expo 58 with regards to philately is poor. Except the stamps, and some rare numbered items, none are cataloged as such.
Moreover, Expo 58 was NOT a philatelic happening, but many countries and organisations were issuing philatelic items in an uncontrolled way. If you put than the different types of collectors, you have a mix of numerous items on the market. That is also why Expo 58 Philatelic is such interesting.
Most of the official information I have identified has been edited by the organisation of Expo 58, which does not exist anymore. If there would be any copyright on it, contact me. Also be careful, many of you think that all the items published on this website are mine. That is not true ! I herewith would like to thank my collegue collectors about providing me with scans of items I did not identify yet.
