Dear Dealer-
It’s that time of year again; time to start thinking about the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show. This year’s show will again be held over the Memorial Day weekend, May 24, 25, & 26, 2024. We are an APS “World Series of Philately” stamp show, and this year’s layout will accommodate up to 32 dealers, a handful of postal authorities and societies, a large youth area, and 400 frames of exhibits. Our convening societies this year are the APS Writers Unit #30, the Colorado Postal History Society, the International Society for Portuguese Philately, and the United States Postal Stationery Society. Our show theme this year is Native Plants of Colorado. To support our theme, we will have the Colorado Native Plant Society and the Colorado Cactus and Succulent Society at the show.
We are honored to host the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors’ George Brett Cup competition again this year. This is an invitational competition open to modern material exhibitors who have won a WSP Grand or Reserve-Grand award in the most recent three show cycles. We are expecting approximately 150 frames of world-class exhibits and additional show attendance from accomplished collectors as a result of hosting this competition.
Another great addition to our show is the Denver Postcard & Paper Show which will be right next door on Friday & Saturday, May 24 & 25. They have a separate hall that is adjacent to our space, and we will share the lobby and concessions with them. I think this is good for us; we do not charge an admission fee, so I expect that some of their attendees will come over to our side to check us out.
Here’s a quick rundown on the information contained in this packet:
Bourse Application: The information I have on file for you is entered on the form already. The application outlines the items included with your booth, contains the booth pricing information, and lists the show hours.
Policies For Dealers: This is the fine print. By signing the application, you are acknowledging that you will abide by these policies. Please read them!
Exhibition Floor Layout: The Bourse Layout. As dealers make their booth selections, the layout may change or be adjusted.
Please return your completed application with a deposit of $250 to hold a booth. I will assign booths in the order of my receipt of applications. I will mail a confirmation when I have made the assignment, and final payment is due to me no later than May 1, 2024.
With respect to our contractual obligations with the hotel, please consider staying at the DoubleTree by Hilton Denver-Aurora during the show. The hotel address is 13696 East Iliff Place, Aurora, Colorado, 80014-1319. If you are not driving, please keep in mind that our shuttle will only be running between this hotel and the Fairgrounds. Hotel reservations can be made by calling 1-800-445-8667 and asking for the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Exhibitions, Inc. group block at the DoubleTree by Hilton Denver-Aurora. Alternatively, and probably easier, you may make the reservation by clicking the link on the Hotel Info page on our website. For the 2024 show, the special room rate is $139 per night. This rate will be available until May 7th or until the group block is sold out, whichever comes first.
We had 28 dealers at our 2023 show, including the following 12 dealers with 10 or more shows under their belt: Crown Colony Stamps (42), Michael Jaffe (37), Webster Stickney (35), Stamp Center of Texas (28), JP Philatelics (23), the Rocky Mountain Philatelic Library (22), Joe’s Stamps (21), DK Enterprise (16), Ed Dimmick (15), Newport Harbor Stamp Company (14), Stamp Art (14), and Kyle Nybo (13). Thank you all very much for your continued support; we appreciate you!
We are looking forward to seeing you in May. If, however, the Rocky Mountain Stamp Show isn’t for you and you would rather not receive this information again in the future, please help me manage our expenses by letting me know. You may reach me by phone at 720-771-0841, by mail at PO Box 1421, Broomfield, CO 80038, or by e-mail at
Sincerely,
Ron Lampo
