2016 WORLD STAMP SHOW Coming to Javits

Center in New York City This Spring

Every ten years, the United States hosts an historic

event in which people from around the world come

together to honor the postage stamp. This year's

eight-day celebration entitled: World Stamp Show-

NY 2016 is scheduled from May 28th to June 4th,

2016, at the Javits Center located at 655 West 34th

Street in New York City. In addition to hundreds of

thousands stamps from around the world, this

year's exhibition will include the world's most

valuable postage stamp, John Lennon's childhood

stamp album, vintage postal vehicles, and much

more.

Visitors from all 50 states and more than 100 countries are expected to attend the free

exhibition and retail event at which they can buy from more than 200 of the world's most

notable and respected stamp dealers, bid on rarities through revered auction houses, view

nearly 60,000 pages of stamp exhibits, attend seminars, or just "Take a Walk Around the

World" through the 60+ country post offices participating in the exhibition. On display will be

very valuable and rare stamps, including the British Guiana One-Cent Black on Magenta stamp,

produced in 1856, sold in 2014 for $9.5 million, and considered to be the world's most valuable

object by weight. Those new to the hobby of stamp collecting will receive complimentary stamps

and guidance from "stamp buddies" on how to begin collecting in the "Beginner's Area," with

planned activities for those attendees from six years of age to 96.

"For more than 150 years, postage stamps have connected people from all over the world," says

Wade Saadi, President of World Stamp Show-NY 2016. "Just as Passport stamps show where

people have traveled to in the world, postage stamps are a unique way of learning about history,

geography and even pop culture. Collectors are able to tell stories of the past, such as who was

the president of the US in any given year; what cars were popular when; or when the world was

at war, as well as to commemorate a wide variety of themes, including artwork, inventions,

animals, sports, and world leaders."

Throughout the ages, stamp collecting has been a passionate hobby of some very famous people

from all walks of life including: Pope Francis (boyhood collector), Queen Elizabeth, Patrick

Dempsey, Warren Buffet, Maria Sharapova, Nicolas Sarkozy, John Lennon, Freddie Mercury,

Ronnie Wood, Bill Gross, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Jacques Costeau, and George Bernard

Shaw, among others.

"For generations, letters have delivered news of events, both happy and sad occasions, business,

politics, discoveries, and family history. By the same token, postage stamps reflect the times and

teach us about people, places and events, reflecting on the talk of the day," continued Mr. Saadi.

"Stamp collecting is a great way to connect with the past and present, obtaining valuable

knowledge that requires being mindful -- without the need for technology."

The World Stamp Show-NY 2016 opens on Saturday, May 28th from 10:30 am to 6:00 pm.

From Sunday, May 29th through Saturday, June 4th, show hours are from 10:00 AM to 6:00

PM. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.ny2016.org.
