By Linn’s Staff
Organizers of the Boston 2026 World
Expo seek donations of off-paper stamps for use during the international
philatelic exhibition, Thomas Fortunato, public relations chair for Boston
2026, said in a Jan. 2 press release.
Boston 2026 chief financial officer
Michael Lawson is coordinating the donation collection process along with the
Spellman Museum of Stamps and Postal History. The stamps will be used in
welcome packets and in the youth and beginner’s areas.
“World Stamp Show-NY 2016 collected
roughly three million stamps for free giveaways in a variety of ways,” Lawson
said. “We are again counting on the philatelic community to show their
generosity and desire to promote the hobby by donating common, unwanted
duplicates we all have an abundance of to our show.”
Lawson will accept donations of both
mint and used off-paper stamps of any quantity. Stamp clubs are especially
encouraged to participate, Lawson said, and dealer stock with hundreds of the
same stamp can be sent. Lawson asks that United States stamps be sorted from
stamps of other countries, if possible.
Stamps can be mailed to the Spellman
Museum of Stamps and Postal History, Attn: Michael Lawson/Boston 2026, Regis
College, 241 Wellesley Street Weston, MA 02493. To receive confirmation of
receipt, include a note with an email address with the stamps.
Boston 2026 World Stamp Show, Inc.
has received 501(c)(3) recognition from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service,
allowing contributions to be tax-deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
Boston 2026 World Expo will take place May 23-30, 2026, at the Boston Convention and Exposition Center. Show details and instructions to sign up for email updates can be found at the expo’s website and via the expo’s Facebook, X and Instagram pages.
