The Minnesota Stamp Expo is the largest stamp show between Chicago and the Rockies.

A brochure will be mailed to all known stamp collectors in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.  If you wish to place a business card size advertisement in this mailing, check the box on the Dealer Table Reservation Application.  You will be contacted in April for your camera-ready advertisement.  The cost will be $35.00

Security will be provided during and after show hours starting Thursday.   A guard will be provided.  After closing, a motion/security system will be set with the Crystal Police.  As always, dealers are COMPLETELY responsible for their stamps and supplies.  A Dealer cannot hold the sponsoring clubs, show chair, bourse chairs, or the Crystal Community Center responsible for loss or damage.  All Dealers must have a Minnesota Sales Tax Permit and it must be shown to the Bourse Chair prior to setup.  If you do not have a sales tax permit number, you MUST apply for one by contacting: Minnesota Sales & Use Tax; St. Paul, MN 55146-1120.  They may be reached by phone at 1-651-282-5255.
