Featured Presentation: The Philatelic Icons Sale

Saturday, April 25 at 1:00 PM | Newport Room

Join Angelo Ismirnioglou for a special presentation titled Discover the Philatelic Icons Sale: Exclusive Highlights.

This talk will feature a curated selection of standout lots from the upcoming Philatelic Icons Sale, debuting at Boston 2026 in May. Angelo will walk attendees through the history, context, and significance of each piece, exploring the stories these covers and stamps carry and the role they played in shaping the development of the American postal system and the nation itself.

Whether you are a longtime specialist or simply curious about what makes certain pieces iconic, the presentation is designed to offer insight and perspective you will not find in a catalog alone.

Now Accepting Consignments for Upcoming Auctions

WESTPEX offers an ideal opportunity to meet in person and discuss your holdings. Whether you are considering placing a single standout cover or exploring options for an entire lifetime collection, our team welcomes the chance to evaluate your material and outline a consignment plan tailored to your goals.

Americana Stamps specializes in:

  • United States Classics 
  • Carriers and Locals
  • Civil War postal history
  • Western Expresses
  • Stampless covers and early American postal history

If you are attending the show and would like to reserve a dedicated time with Angelo to discuss consigning, we encourage you to reach out in advance so we can set aside time on the bourse floor. You can also learn more on our Consignments page.

Looking Ahead to Boston 2026

WESTPEX also serves as our final major stop before Boston 2026 World Expo (May 23 through 30), where Americana Stamps will exhibit at Booth 141 and present the first in-person preview of all lots from the Philatelic Icons Sale.
