Metropex Stamp Show October 16-17

In case anyone wants to travel and see fall colors (and stamps too)

I'm running the Metropex stamp show this year from October 16-17 in Roseville Minnesota, there's always some good stuff to be found. I hope to have 15 dealers at it and still have slots open if any dealers want to join in. The only retail stamp store in Minnesota is just 5 minutes from the show too. The stamp pool will be back with about 20 pounds of stamps to sift through for a nickel each.

Don't know about Roseville, but METROPLEX is the USPS cancellation used in the Detroit, Michigan area.

Sadly October is just around the corner. I should be in attendance.

METROPLEX... I always wondered where that was! We used to have cancellations at Metropex, but not for a few years now.

I placed the show info on the stamp club Facebook page.

I have to say it's been an interesting experience being a show organizer. I have 6 dealers signed up so far with a goal of 15. If anyone knows of a dealer I might have missed and wishes to be part of the show let me know! One table for two days is $165, two tables is $275 and three tables are $375. Something I don't know is how do these table prices compare to other shows of this size.

Any updates on Dealer counts ? If anyone wants to get together Saturday morning 10/17 for Coffee, post here.

We have 11 dealers at the moment and there are some special features too including club tables and a couple thousand covers for a dollar each. There will also be a special fundraiser table for the Boy Scouts too and of course there will be the stamp pool with 20 pounds of stamps on paper for 5 cents each and twenty pounds of US stamps off paper for 5 cents each. I will be there at the front table both days.. Here's a sample of the covers, there's some interesting ones.
