Each year the Society holds an annual meeting at a different World Series of Philately show. In addition to presentations by members, we also hold our traditional Fellowship Diner and those members who exhibit at the show are eligible for the Hugh M. Southgate Award for the best multi-frame exhibit and the W. Wallace Cleland Award for the best single frame exhibit. These awards are only available at our annual meeting.

Please take a few minutes to stop by our booth. It may prove to be the most enjoyable time you spend at the show.

The United States Stamp Society donated a valuable prize to World Stamp Show – NY2016. The award was a complete error pane of 20 of the $2.00 Bobcat definitive plate number 1111(1) with the engraved black missing. As a result, the $2 denomination and initials USA are missing from all 20 stamps. The multicolor lithographed & engraved stamp, designed by Chuck Ripper, was issued June 1, 1990.

Listed as #2482a, each of the 20 stamps are valued at $200 in the 2016 edition of the Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps & Covers.
