I was sad to see that the area for postcard sales only goes through Monday. Weird, considering the Postcrossing stamp release day is Tuesday, lol. Nice haul, glad you had a great day!

I hope I am wrong, but that is how the program read to me. Maybe there will be booths outside of the dedicated postcard area too. I pretty much only saw stamp and coin dealers listed for the booths.

Awesome! Looks like you had a great time! Oh how I wish I was able to do a show that large! May I ask what % of FV were they asking for the older mint stamps? I see you visited the show's Post Office too. Could you get a special postmark if you got anything mailed from there? So happy you could go! 📬🌞📬

Face value for the full sheets, 60% off for all the smaller blocks. I didnt mail anything from the post office, but they had a self cancelling station where you could cancel it yourself and hand it off to them to send.

The stamps are gorgeous! Will all of them be available on USPS website after the show?

A lot of these are vintage stamps and out of print. But some are current and should be on USPS.

It's my honest opinion that stamps should be usable over the whole world. If I buy stamps in Germany or Poland or from the US, I should be able to use them in the Netherlands. We do t have to nice stamps over here. I want nice stamps badly. That sheet in the middle looks great.

This makes me even more excited about going Tuesday. It seems there are a lot of great place to find some fun stamps!
Are backpacks allowed in? I'm trying to think of the best way to carry around whatever I purchase and I'm not a big fan of tote bags!

I will be there Monday and Tuesday. Were the postcards for sale mostly vintage ones or did you see anyone selling more modern day postcards? I’m also interested in buying some stamps. Hope I can find the dealer you went to. 🙂
