Dear Dealer-
Happy Holidays! It’s time to start making plans for the 2026 Rocky Mountain Stamp Show. For 2026, we will be holding the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show over the Mother’s Day weekend, May 8, 9, & 10. This move from Memorial Day was prompted by the International Show in Boston that will be held May 23–30, right on top of our traditional show weekend.
We are an APS “World Series of Philately” stamp show, and this year’s layout will accommodate up to 35 dealers, a handful of postal authorities and societies, a large youth area, and 400 frames of exhibits.
Our convening societies this year are the Universal Ship Cancelation Society and the Colorado Postal History Society. We are celebrating the 75th Rocky Mountain Stamp Show (yes, of course we are including the ROMPEX shows!) and also the Colorado Statehood Sesquicentennial.
In an ongoing effort to increase awareness of the show, and of the hobby in general, we will again host a Postcrossing meetup.
We are honored to host the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors’ George Brett Cup competition again this year. This invitational competition is open to modern material exhibitors who have won a WSP Grand or Reserve-Grand award in the most recent three show cycles.
Here is a quick rundown on the information contained in this packet:
- Bourse Application
- Policies for Dealers
- Exhibition Floor Layout
Here is this year’s timeline:
- Mid-December: Dealer packets mailed to returning dealers
- Early January: Packets mailed to prospective new dealers
- January 31, 2026: Deposit deadline remembering prior booths
- April 15, 2026: All accounts settled
