Saint Louis Stamp Expo
The Midwest’s BEST WPS Stamp Show!

History of St. Louis Stamp Expo
Saint Louis Stamp Expo was started by David Kols of Regency-Superior Auctions in 1993. Kols’ goal was to bring an APS World Series of Philately (WPS) show to St. Louis. By 1997, he built the show to a scale by which the APS awarded Expo the designation of a WPS show. Check out all the history behind this show!
