BPA Expertising logo

The British Philatelic Association is an association of stamp dealers best known for the work of BPA Expertising Limited, a business that provides opinions on the genuineness or otherwise of philatelic items submitted to them.[1] During the Second World War, it operated a "Philatelic Import and Export Control" scheme in connection with controls on capital flows imposed by the British Government to protect the British economy.[2] In 1992 the assets of the expertising business were given to a charity which publishes books and also receives the ongoing profits of the expertising business.[3]
