Aurora, CO 80016

The 75th Rocky Mountain Stamp Show is free and open to the public. This year we are expecting to fill the 400 available frames with world class exhibits from our convening society (Universal Ship Cancellation Society) and the participants in the AAPE-sponsored George Brett Cup Competition. Our bourse floor will accommodate 32 dealer booths and 13 society and activity booths. There will also be a Postcrossing Meetup (www.postcrossing.com). We will be celebrating two events at our show: the 150th anniversary of Colorado statehood, and the 75th anniversary of our show. We will have our popular What’s in Your Attic? booth where visitors can learn about an inherited accumulation or rekindle their interest in a long-neglected collection. The CYPHER (Colorado Young Philatelic Explorers & Researchers) Stamp Club will have youth activities scheduled throughout the show, including a Stamp Collecting Merit Badge class for Scouts on Sunday May 10th at 10am. Our show wouldn’t be complete without the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library’s silent auction, a major fundraiser for this important volunteer-run philatelic community resource. We look forward to hosting the largest stamp show in our region. The official show hotel and site of the awards banquet is the DoubleTree by Hilton - Denver/Aurora, 13696 E Iliff Pl., Aurora, CO 80014. A free shuttle for hotel guests will provide transportation between the hotel and fairgrounds during show hours.
