ARIZONA's "FIRST SUNDAY" Monthly Stamp Show
The First Sunday Stamp show has about 8-14 dealers depending on the
time of year (more in winter) setting up at the RAMADA Hotel on the SW
corner of Cactus and I-17 in N. Phoenix. This Hotel is right next to
the freeway. For Show Info call Bill Chesser at (602) 956-3497 or
mchesser@availe.com. The show hours are from 9-3 and it is always
well advertised with press releases and packed with collectors. Free
Admission and Free Parking. Most of the dealers are "part-timers" with
a few full-time dealers as well coming from all over Arizona and there
are some amazing bargins to be had. Get there early for the best
selection of covers, stamps, collections and box lots. A to Z
Stamps brings their entire stamp stock and most of the supply stock. If
you live in Sun City or the Northwest Valley it is a great opportunity
for you to see our stock. If you will be selling to us at this show it
is best to come in the afternoon as our table is swamped in the morning
until about 1pm. We will have more time to spend looking at your
collection after 1pm.
