The sad news was announced yesterday by the magazine website and Twitter account:
Due to the challenging economic conditions, the difficult decision has been taken to cease publication of Philatelic Exporter, with the February edition being the last one. Many thanks to all the readers, contributors and advertisers for their support over the 78 years the magazine has been published.
The magazine was first published in 1945. In 2009 it was purchased by the Stanley Gibbons Group.
This follows the decision of Royal Mail to cease publication of the Philatelic Bulletin and raises further challenges for the hobby.
