Can I purchase stamps through APS?

Asked 3 months ago
The American Philatelic Society does not directly sell stamps to its members or the general public. However, it serves as a valuable resource for stamp collectors by providing access to a wide range of information about stamps, their history, and collecting strategies. Members of the society often enjoy benefits such as a directory of dealers, access to stamp shows, and various educational materials that can further enhance their collecting experience. For purchasing stamps, collectors often turn to member dealers, many of whom advertise their offerings through the APS platform. Additionally, the society provides tools and resources that help collectors identify reputable dealers and events where they can buy stamps. If you are looking for specific stamps or need help finding a dealer, it may be useful to check the current web page for resources or a list of members who sell stamps, as this could provide you with additional options to expand your collection.
