Updates
18 June 2003 [Note from the Editor: This update is a slightly different version from that distributed to Coubertin.com email subscribers. It excludes email addresses to prevent their automated gathering and spamming. It also excludes names and telephone numbers to protect our members' privacy. For full versions of updates you need to be a member and a subscriber.] A big welcome to all new members of the Coubertin.com Olympic Collectors' Auction service and a special thank you to all members who have participated in the auction. There are now 811 active members! Coubertin.com brings together more Olympic Collectors than any other club, society or organization in the world. IN THE NEWS We are pleased to announce that Coubertin.com was selected for a review of sports memorabilia websites in the Sunday Times (United Kingdom) supplement on the 15th June. Only eight international sports memorabilia websites were reviewed. Coubertin.com was the only Olympic memorabilia (and collectibles) website to be included. To read the excerpt visit our Press Office at http://www.coubertin.com/press_office/ . This is not the first time that Coubertin.com has appeared in the news. Last year Reuters published an article about Olympic memorabilia that mentioned Coubertin.com. As a result we were mentioned in several newspapers and magazines online and offline during the Salt Lake City Winter Olympics. IN COLOR Members of the Olympin Collector's Club have been treated to a full-page color advertisement of the new Coubertin.com logo in the members directory. This was the first color appearance of the logo anywhere. It will appear in a Coubertin.com website make-over at some point before the next Olympic Games. IN TOUCH Some interesting websites that you may not have seen yet:

FUTURE EVENTS Please let us know about future Olympic Collectors events so that we can inform our members. WANTS LIST
We have had special requests from buyers for the following Olympic memorabilia and collectibles. These are genuine wants: Coubertin.com has decided to discontinue this 'Wants List' from future updates because only two vendor members have made a genuine effort to fulfil these wants in the past.
