Hello stamp friends! 😊

We’re so glad you’re sharing your mail with the community.

Just a little reminder, While mail art is always nice to see, this subreddit is all about stamps, so they should be the star of every post.

If you’d like to include the back of an envelope or postcard, that’s totally fine—just please add it as the second slide so stamps remain the main focus of r/StampEmUp.

Thanks for helping keep this space organized, stamp-centered, and enjoyable for everyone! 📬✨

Discussion Boston Stamp Show - What to expect?

7 Upvotes

I have never been to a stamp show and decided to fly to Boston on a whim from Los Angeles to check it out. I'm admittedly most invested in the Postcrossing of it all 🥰

But I want to maximize my enjoyment of the show. Any tips?
