Choose your gifts at the Christmas Sberatel fair on 22 and 23 November in Prague!

At the fair, you can not only add to your collections, but also find ideas for Christmas presents for friends and acquaintances. Every item on offer at the Christmas Sberatel fair is an original with its own story, which not only gives pleasure but can also be an interesting investment for the future.

It is possible to have your own collections examined by experts from professional organisations directly at the fair. Experts from the Association of Czech Philatelists (stamps), the Czech Numismatic Society (coins, medals, banknotes), the Club of Autograph Collectors (signatures) or the Museum of Securities (shares, valuables) will be available to visitors.

Tatra 77 – Czechoslovak automotive design icon on the 0 euro souvenir banknote

The car that forever changed the face of the Czechoslovak automotive industry and inspired designers around the world. This elegant car, produced between 1934 and 1938, was a pioneer in many ways.

Its most distinctive feature was its revolutionary aerodynamic body, which was completely unusual for its time. The Tatra 77 was the first mass-produced car with such a design. Under the bonnet was a powerful air-cooled V8 engine, which gave the car plenty of power and enabled it to reach high speeds. The interior of the Tatra 77 was as innovative as the exterior. The car offered a high level of comfort and equipment that was comparable to the most luxurious cars of the time.

The Tatra 77 became a symbol of the Czechoslovak automotive industry and was exported to many countries around the world. Even today, more than eighty years after the end of production, the Tatra 77 is one of the best known and most admired Czech cars.

At the Sberatel.info stand, it will also be possible to buy a new press sheet issued by the Czech Post on the anniversary of the Tatra 77.

Freddie Mercury on the stamp of the Deutsche Post

The late Queen frontman is the subject of a stamp from the “Legend of Pop/Rock Music” series, which follows last year’s stamp featuring Jimi Hendrix. The new stamp was created by Deutsche Post’s in-house stamp designer Jan-Niklas Kroeger and depicts the legendary artist in one of his iconic poses with a microphone on a stand. The new stamp featuring Freddie Mercury, himself one of the most famous stamp collectors, will be available for purchase at the sberatel.info stand at the fair.

It will be possible to buy a single stamp or the entire sheet at the fair.

There will also be a limited number of commemorative stamp sheets and an atypical “booklet” in the shape of a gramophone record with two stamps.

It will also be possible to obtain an original ‘beer stamp’ at the fair

It was issued this year by the Austrian Post and is a celebration of beer and all the joys associated with it. The entire sheet, designed by artist David Gruber, is the size and shape of a classic beer tray. It is on sale at the Sberatel.info stand.

The trade fair will take place in the congress building of the four-star Olympik Hotel, which is located within walking distance of the metro and tram stop (‘Invalidovna’ on the ‘B’ line, about 5 minutes on foot). There is a sufficient number of parking spaces available and the wheelchair-accessible entrance provides easy and problem-free access to the exhibition hall.

Exhibitors and visitors who are not at home in Prague can take advantage of the hotel’s accommodation facilities at preferential rates.

ATTENTION! For a ticket to the Christmas Sberatel fair you can also visit the Antique fair, which takes place from 21 to 24 November at the New Town Hall on Charles Square in Prague and thus overlaps with Sberatel.
