2020 Raffle
Free ticket with Paid Admission - Additional Tickets for $2 Each or Three for $5
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 2020, 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." In 2018, we raffled off a White Plains sheet (Scott #630) And most recently, a lucky winner from Virginia took home a United States number 1 on cover.
Our raffle in 2020 will work similarly to 2019. 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 $2.00 each or three for $5.00. 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.
Our raffle prize for 2020 is a lovely copy of France C15 (Scott Catalogue), the French airmail stamp of 1936. This choice item features a centrally struck circular date stamp (CDS) cancel, and is very fine in all respects. This stamp currently catalogues at $310 US in the latest Scott Catalogue listing. A classic airmail stamp, it is often missing from the finest French and Aviation Topical collections.
