I will be at Metropex working the desk on Friday. We will have more space than last year with more dealers. Admission is free. For the budget-minded collector there will be a dollar cover table by the Maplewood Stamp Club with thousands of covers. Also come see the swimming pool of stamps where US used stamps are only a nickel each, C'mon and dive in. For the International collector starting out there is a healthy stack of Scott International Album pages in great shape (Looks like Volume 1 and volume 5 to me collated A to Z) for $20. These aren't dog-eared pages, they appear to be practically new. There's no binder though.

The show is located at the Roseville Oval

Smauggie, When do you have lunch on Friday, I'm 11-12Noon. Could swing in by then for a short stay!

I will be there all morning and some of the afternoon. I got a couple hours of work that day. I think.

I'll be there on Saturday with my boy.

I'll wear a landoquakes badge so stop by and say "hi" when you come in. I'll be there Friday until probably 1 or so and then back to clean up on Saturday afternoon.

Sounds good! Landoquakes!

Smauggie, I'm done at 8PM tomorrow & Weds. If your break is at that tie we could do a meal!

Looks as if I'll be flying solo to this one. Since it's MEA time the Wife is taking the Son up to Canada to see relatives....he is not going to be happy....

I was a week early!

I did the same thing with the Minnesota Stamp Expo. I drove all the way out to Crystal and was surprised to see an empty parking lot and gym! I will make sure there are plenty of signs on Friday! I've been working on a list of dealers. Iowa stamps will be there for sure, a new dealer or two. I will have the swimming pool o' stamps with at least 60,000 US stamps in it for 5 cents each at the club table. There will be several thousand covers for a dollar each too.

Looking forward to it ! I'm starting my want list tonight.

Landoquakes, Hope to meet you today be there 11-12 over my lunch hour!
Smauggie see uyou at work & the show!

Smauggie buying post marks found at least one nice DPO South Stillwater>

Saw a lot of other interesting items!

Sounds like there might some good pickings. I'll be on the Hunt for my Southern Rhodesia / Rhodesia Admirals :)
I'll be there Saturday morning around 11am.

I bought 350 covers my first day. Lots of great US postal history available. Also there is a specialist dealer in Mexico stamps, a topical dealer from California with hundreds of topics to choose from, not to mention Adler Stamps which specializes in stamps of Germany. I spent several hours there and did not get a chance to visit all of the dealers (16 in all).

like to be there. but MN is a long drive from MD
