APS Stampshow Milwaukee 2013

Hope to see some of you there!

If you'd like a copy of this postcard, I have extras and would be glad to send one to anyone in the States free of charge.

Isn't it frustrating to see how the USPS prints up these cards but can't get the artwork for the Flag for All Seasons (FFAS) stamps right?

The FFAS stamps have been and/or are being issued in various booklets and coils, meaning there are no varieties that have perforations on all four sides ... yet the graphic shown on the above card shows perforations on all four sides. (The USPS tends to do this a lot; I guess they just don't care about such details.)

wt1, I'm afraid I didn't notice that until you pointed it out!

The Wisconsin Federation of Stamp Clubs is offering four cacheted covers in conjunction with its 82nd annual convention to be held at StampShow 2013.

Ok, for some reason, the images didn't appear.

I apologize for that!

Hope to see you Spanishmoss,we plan to drive up Friday and stay up until Sunday . Were planning on going to the Zoo ,the Harley-Davidson museum and a few of the German Beer Hall joints for brats and beer . With little time at the show but plan to spend money at the two stamp auctions in the late afternoons. Hope to pick up a few collections and maybe a huge mixture lot ,sort of something to play with in the eveings after working .Let me know were you will be around ,im the guy with the dark working tan looking at stamp auction lots in the afternoons.

Hi Floortrader. I' ll be on the lookout for you. I will be in the youth area for most of the show. Please stop by and say, "hi!"

If you go to Stampshow make time to look at the exhibits. They are stunning. One exhibitor told me at a previous show that he had spent over $30,000 on research alone. He had agents worldwide going through archives.

The exhibits can provide ideas for areas you might want to collect or an approach that could work for you.

The best part of Stampshow for me are the Dollar booths. Thousands and thousands of covers to pour over.

Unfortunately the Brewers aren't in town this week.

Next week is the Big Lebowski Fest in Milwaukee. It doesn't get much better than that!

show up but no SPANISHMOSS.!Stop by the kids section on Saturday , A guy name Martin was sitting by the donated albums and other supplies and the Chinese guy was at the desk by the entrance, ask about you .So went back to looking at stamp auction lots ,didn't find much at the two firms holding auctions but a lot of junk.
Only lot that I wanted was a German LOCALS lot which had a opening bid of $1500.00 but someone already had a bid in at $2900.00 and it wasn't going to get up for bid until after midnight or one A.M. and that would be too late to stay up to maybe fight over it.So I guess I'll wait for another auction and be happy that we will be going to the Wisconsin State Fair tomorrow .

I apologize, Floortrader! There were two meetings I had to attend and I was a presenter at another. I should be there all day tomorrow, unless I can steal away to some dealers' tables. I hope you have better luck at the auctions tomorrow if you attend.

I wish I could have been there, but it was too far away for me at this time. I have friends who have a dealer table there (Post Road Co.). Next year it will be closer in Hartford, Connecticut.

Battle----I'm thinking of coming out your way for the Kellher Auction .I was not too pleased with the collection lots here at the APS show, they seem picked over and nothing extra was included{for those new readers, not understanding "extras" that means more than the basic fill the spaces of a pre-printed album. More items like perfs and shade varieties and different cancels .}.But it was good to see old friends.
