Beat the Americover Ticket Increases
Jun 18 2019, 10:09 PM
There’s still time to get tickets to Americover events at the early bird rates. But prices will go up on Monday, July 1.
Americover 2019 — sponsored by the American First Day Cover Society — will feature a World Series of Philately exhibition, well-known dealers, meetings and seminars, but also social events that celebrate first day cover collecting.
The show will be held July 26-28 in Saint Louis at the Renaissance St. Louis Airport Hotel, but the fun starts the day before, with not just one but two events.
Friday night, the winners of the AFDCS cachet contest for 2018 issues will be announced at the President’s Banquet, with the winning FDCs projected onto a screen as they are announced.
Saturday features the cachetmakers bourse in the late afternoon and evening. The latter is followed by a food event that includes a Burger Bar and Santa Fe cheesecake brownies. A souvenir cover designed by a well-known burger buff is included in tickets for the meal.
The fun continues at Americover even after the show closes: A post-show dinner will be held at a local restaurant unique to the Saint Louis area.
Purchase your Americover event tickets here. As noted above, ticket prices increase on July 1, so order now.
The show hotel rate at the Renaissance is just $104 — a bargain for a top-of-the-line Marriott hotel — good for July 21 through August 1. Make your hotel reservation here.
See you at the show!
