Great American Stamp Show 2023 (“GASS”) is history, but stamp collectors are already getting ready for the next edition, in Hartford, Connecticut.
Attendance was approximately 2,500 for the 2023 four-day show.
We’ll update this page as we get more details, but here are the basics:
- August 15-18, 2024
- At the Connecticut Convention Center downtown
- Co-sponsored by the American Philatelic Society, American Topical Association, American First Day Cover Society, and the U.S. Postal Service
- Admission will be free. But you’ll have to supply your own caffeine to keep up with all the events!
Meanwhile, the Palmares (exhibit winners) for the three exhibitions at GASS 2023 are here, and the list of literature awards is here. On the left, Nick Lombardi was presented with the Champion of Champions award, for the best philatelic exhibit in the previous 12 months, by APS president Cheryl Ganz. It was the 21st time his exhibit had been in the running for this top award but the first time it had won. It was also the first time an exhibit of post-19th century stamps or covers had won the C of C.
