Our group was formed to encourage local St. Louis stamp collectors to exhibit in our
local shows. The Saint Louis Stamp Expo is a
World Series of Philately accredited show, it is
desirable that local collectors take home some of the prizes.
Are you already an exhibitor or have an idea for a new exhibit? We can help you move to the next medal level.
Saint Louis has a proud philatelic history. The first president of the American Philatelic Society, John Kerr Tiffany was a St. Louis businessman.
As the needs of our members evolve, we are prepared to evolve the group. We expanded our focus to include discussions of philatelic writing and
techniques for PowerPoint presentations. If there is a need in the future, we
will continue to evolve.
We meet on the 2nd Monday of each month at 6:30 PM Central Time.

What We Do
|
In the course of a year, we try to cover most subjects important to our
exhibitors, for example (it can vary widely from this list depending on what
people come prepared to show)
-
How to prepare title pages. What needs to be there. How to present your
story line.
- Writing a synopsis of your exhibit. What you can and cannot say.
-
St Louis Stamp Expo is days before our March meeting. We analyze what
could have been done better.
-
Help with mounting “hard to mount” items such as covers,
complete sheets, over-sized things, things that do not fit in a frame.
- What will my material look like when it is projected on a wall?
-
We all have philatelic libraries; it is occasionally nice to know what
others have that would help us out.
- How to write-up your exhibit. What words to use. How much to write.
- We look at members exhibits one last time before they head off to APS Great American Stamp Show (GASS).
-
Picking the right archival “mylar” protection. What to do for
over-sized pages, how heavy is heavy enough? Do not use Office Depot sheet protectors.
