San Diego Stamp Show set for Feb. 20-22

By Linn’s Staff

The San Diego Stamp Show will take place Feb. 20-22 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront, 1 Park Boulevard, in San Diego, Calif.

Show hours are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday. Admission is free.

The show will feature a bourse (sales area) with more than 20 dealer booths along with more than 150 frames of competitive exhibits.

Because the San Diego Stamp Show is an American Philatelic Society World Series of Philately exhibition, the multiframe grand award winner will qualify for the APS Champion of Champions competition at the Boston 2026 World Expo in Boston, Mass., May 23-30, 2026.

The single-frame grand award winner will be eligible for the single-frame championship at the Chicagopex show in Itasca, Ill., near Chicago, Nov. 20-22, 2026.

A jury of five accredited judges will evaluate the exhibits at the San Diego Stamp Show. Serving on the jury are Peter McCann as chair, James Gough, Kathryn Johnson, Colin Fraser, and Behruz Nassre-Esfahani. Phil Leber will serve as an apprentice judge.

Among the convening societies at the show will be the United Postal Stationery Society and the Collectors Club.
