James P. Mazepa’s “Colonial Central America” exhibit was crowned Champion of Champions Aug. 5 at the American Philatelic Society Stampshow in Richmond, Va.

His postal history exhibit, which demonstrates “the development of the postal system in the Kingdom of Guatemala,” bested 24 other grand award-winning exhibits from national-level shows in the APS World Series of Philately that were on display at Stampshow.

Mazepa became the sixth multiple winner of the top philatelic exhibit award given in the United States.
