WESTPEX will be held again next week, one of the largest stamp shows in the USA.

While the show itself runs Friday-Sunday the show auction (Rumsey) runs Wednesday-Sunday. Their viewing and auction rooms are open.

The location is San Francisco Airport Marriott Waterfront Hotel, Burlingame, CA overlooking SF Bay and Airport.

WESTPEX is one of my favorite shows. Unfortunately, I had to cancel my reservation due to unforeseen circumstances back in Hawaii (from Texas). As a result, I contacted several dealers and others that I would not be attending. Below card provided at the 2024 Meet & Greet. The "bonus" was having the card signed by the Presidents of the various societies, including APS. Great show for the serious collector. Will try going again in 2026. For anyone going this year, Have A Great Show!

Looking forward to another Westpex show. No problems yesterday clearing US Customs as my USA postal history is still duty-free and tariff-free. Hope to meet many of the SCF members at booth 95 (facing the exhibits)

To spite some predictions of philatelic economic catastrophe given current governmental policies the Westpex auction is doing quite well. Curious to hear from vendors how sales are compared to other shows.

Lighthouse (NJ) was at the show as they have been for years. They reported that importing is up in the air right now due to the evolving tariff circumstances.

My best Westpex in the 21 years I've had a booth there.

Strong traffic, strong sales (even on Sunday at 2:55pm!), great exhibits and the show organizers did a fantastic job in making sure the dealers have everything needed for a successful show.
