History, geography, relaxation, and mystery—these are just some of the reasons why people love collecting stamps. And of course the visual stimulation of looking at colorful, miniature works of art is no small part of the passion that fuels collectors of every age, nationality, and walk of life.
New York City is about to become the focal point of the philatelic world when the World Stamp Show New York 2016 descends upon it.
For eight days from May 28 to June 4, the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center will host the once-in-a-decade maelstrom of stamp-collecting activities with 200 stamp dealers, specialty philatelic organizations, and more than 70 postal bureaus from around the world will take part.
