Announcement of the Show

Collectors of postage stamps from the United States and around the world will find dealers and exhibits that match up with their interests at a public stamp show—LINPEX 2015. The show is set for Saturday, February 28, 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., and Sunday, March 1, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Sponsored by the Lincoln Stamp Club, LINPEX will be held in the Omaha Room at Country Inn and Suites, 5353 N. 27th St., Lincoln. Admission and parking are free. The entrance to the show is barrier-free.

LINPEX will feature a bourse with six dealers and the U.S. Postal Service. Show visitors may browse and buy mint and used U.S. and worldwide stamps, topical stamps, and postal history. On Saturday, the USPS Station will sell current U.S. stamps and use a special show cancel on any outgoing mail. The cancel is also available at Lincoln’s main post office for thirty days.

The show also offers no-cost evaluations of collections that members of the public may bring to show to knowledgeable Club members. The young and young at heart alike are welcome to spend hours digging through thousands of loose domestic and foreign stamps at the Beginners’ Table, where each stamp cost children a penny, while adults pay a nickel.

Information tables will introduce the American Philatelic Society and the Lincoln Stamp Club. A judged competition of sixteen one-frame philatelic exhibits will entertain and educate, showing how collectors’ topics cover a wide diversity of interests, including apple pie, bicycle mail, world-cup soccer, dental hygiene, a Korean War POW, the Coast Guard in Antarctica, and Padre Félix Varela. These exhibits will show how an individual’s interests in a hobby can find expression in stamp collecting.

The Club will release a special show cover that honors the twenty-fifth anniversary of April 24, 1990, launch of the Hubble Space Telescope aboard Discovery, one of NASA’s space shuttles. The cover features several of the telescope’s most memorable color images and a special cancel with an outline of the telescope.

Collectors desiring to obtain copies of the Hubble covers may buy them at the show for $2.50. Individuals may order covers by mail for the same price, so long as each order includes a stamped, self-addressed envelope. Send orders to Joel Johnson, 3240 Sheridan Ct., Lincoln, NE 68506.
