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.
