2018 Raffle
Free ticket with Paid Admission - Additional Tickets for $1 Each
Given the expense of stamp shows, we're often left to find some creative ways to find more revenue to help pay for the show.
Once again, in 2018, the Southeastern Stamp Expo will feature a raffle. In 2014, we raffled off a United States C13 (the 1933 65 cent Zeppelin stamp), and in 2015, we raffled off a Recalled Legends of the West sheet. In 2017, we featured a lovely "Penny Black."
Our raffle in 2018 will work similarly to 2017. First off, all door fees will be accompanied by a free raffle ticket. That means every paying attendee will automatically be entered. Additional raffle tickets are available for just a dollar each. We hope that all attendees will consider purchasing another ticket or two to help us raise money to run the show.
Our 2018 raffle prize has not be finalized. In 2017, our prize was one of the great icons of philately. Perhaps, THE icon!
It was a Great Britain, Scott number 1, the first postage stamp ever issued in 1840, and commonly known as the "Penny Black." Every collector should have one, regardless of whether you collect Great Britain or not.
Our stamp was a stunner! Four large margins, and a centrally struck Maltese cross cancel, that is almost completely contained within the stamp. For the specialist, this stamp is from Plate 4. This stamp is worthy of the finest collection.
