Was curious if anyone had attended GASS this year and, if so, what was your experience/impressions/any pics? I had planned to attend but a family situation prevented me from traveling to the show.
I also planned on going to GASS this year as well until I realized at the last minute I couldn't afford it. I was not happy. But I am definitely attending World Stamp Show in Boston in 2026, come heck or high water.
I was there Thursday and Friday. It struck me as OK, but not as well as attended as last year in Cleveland. My feeling was that there was not as much activity as usual, but Hartford has little to offer as a city. I would imagine that next year will be much better as it will be outside of Chicago.
I attended Thur-Sat. Good show as defined by number of dealers and exhibits. The off-the-floor meetings - Societies, presentations, merit badge workshops, etc - were all interesting. The USPS Inspectors presentation on stamp fraud was very well attended albeit little seemingly being done to fight counterfeiting.
Will definitely be at the 2026 show. Was at the 2016 show in New York for the entire period and it was a thoroughly enjoyable experience. I am from the Boston area originally so it'll be a treat to hang out there for a week, in addition to enjoying the show.
Surprised nobody tried to get the gang together at any of the shows . Back when we all got together from the ebay Stamp Chat board ,we had 10 people show up ,a few went for drinks after the two times I went we meet in one of the empty side rooms after another group was finish in that room . First time was Chicago and the second time was St.Louis
