2019 Raffle
Free ticket with Paid Admission - Additional Tickets for $2 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 2019, 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." And most recently, a lucky winner from Knoxville, Tennessee took home a United States White Plains sheet (Scott #630)
Our raffle in 2019 will work similarly to 2017 and 2018. First off, all attendees paying our entry fee will get one free raffle ticket. That means every paying attendee will automatically be entered. Additional raffle tickets are available for just a $2.00 each. We hope that all attendees will consider purchasing another ticket or two to help us raise money to run the show, not to mention increasing your chances of winning the prize.
For 2019, we have acquired a United States #1 (Scott cat. number) on its original cover. The cover is a folded letter mailed from Albany to Troy, New York, with a September 11, 1850 postmark.
The stamp itself is a very handsome specimen. It has large margins at top and right, and is just into the frameline at bottom left.
We believe this collectible cover will enhance even the finest United States stamp collection.
