The Southeast Federation of Stamp Clubs will host the 2023 Southeastern Stamp Expo Jan. 27-29 at the Hilton Atlanta Northeast, 5993 Peachtree Industrial Blvd., in Peachtree Corners, Ga., about 20 miles northeast of Atlanta.

The show will feature more than 140 frames of exhibits and a bourse (sales area) with 20 dealers. Experienced stamp collectors will be on hand to provide evaluations of inherited stamp collections.

Both the American Philatelic Society and the Ebony Society of Philatelic Events and Reflections will hold town hall meetings during the show.

The show theme is the 150th anniversary of the first United States postal card (Scott UX1). The theme will be displayed on a commemorative show cover, a write-up in the program and on an exhibit.

An awards banquet is scheduled for Saturday night at the show hotel. The cost is $60 a person, and tickets must be purchased before Jan. 25. Queries can be sent by email to sestampexpo@gmail.com.
