The Mexico-Elmhurst Philatelic Society, International (MEPSI) is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and appreciation of Mexican philately. MEPSI is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Mexican philately. The society’s membership, publications, and educational programs can help collectors learn more about Mexican stamps and their history. Some of the benefits of belonging to MEPSI include access to the award winning quarterly magazine MEXICANA, the expertization committee that is the most respected bodies in the world for identifying the legitimacy of stamps from Mexico and the circuit book sales that feature high quality Mexican stamps.
Mexicana is the quarterly journal of the Society and is provided as a part of each membership. It contains articles on Mexico’s philately as well as information on the Society’s activities through the year. The majority of the articles are written by members who have a demonstrated expertise on the topics they write about.
The MEPSI Expert Committee is a member body that collectively has knowledge of every facet of Mexico’s philately. If you have a stamp or cover and are unsure of its origin or whether it is fake or genuine, contact the Expert Committee for their opinion.
This Internet circuit service is a centralized way for Society members to buy and sell philatelic material amongst themselves. Please note that circuit department services are available only to Society members.
There are a number of publications published by MEPSI members that are available. Many of these articles are free while some are for sale through MEPSI.
The Society is unique among specialized philatelic societies in that it was begun not by a group of specialists, but by members of a local stamp club. The 1st meeting of The Elmhurst (Illinois) Philatelic Society was held September 25, 1935.
