For those who can't make the event but want some covers with the pictorial cancellation, you can forward them for processing as follows (taken from the Postal Bulletin).



Be sure to include a SASE for the safe return of the items or you'll wind up getting those awful spray-on cancel overprints that will ruin your covers.

Too bad my boyfriend would be bored out of his mind at a stamp show... He could park his Mustang right at the entrance!

;)

Nells250: Buy breakfast on Sunday @ the show. The Holiday has a decent brunch buffet @ the show. That's how I entice the wife to accompany me. I think I'll be going Friday & Sunday this year. I would like to attend the FDOI event on Friday afternoon. I've been going to this show over ten years now, and it has a great selection of philatelic vendors with reasonable prices. Some of the regular vendors are getting on in age and are easy to bargain with and I find a number of $1 box vendors for FDC and other inexpensive items throughout the show floor. There are several auctions, Friday through Sunday and quite a large exhibition area. Why not take a picture of his Mustang, apply to a couple of envelopes (3), go on Sunday to the USPS table and apply the show cancel for the three days???!!

Yeah, I was thinking about making an envelope up to get canceled.

:-)

Since I started going to stamp shows lately, I find them interesting, but also depressing. I can't afford what I want, and when I buy what I need (mint US postage for Postcrossing), I go broke. If I was working, then it would be different. BUT, still... it gets me out of the house!

Here's one of the covers I made up for the special cancel. This isn't the best "strike" of the lot, though. That one's already put away

Also got the cancel on one of the show's postcards, which also looks snazzy.
