Founded in 1986, the American Association of Philatelic Exhibitors is a worldwide organization of stamp collectors who exhibit their collections competitively and work together for the betterment of philatelic exhibiting and judging standards and practices.

One nice benefit of membership is that they offer a critique service. As you develop new exhibits, they can be evaluated (through the mails) by experienced judges, free. Only cost is a photocopy of your exhibit and postage.

AAPE membership is open to all philatelists who love, and participate in, the world of stamp shows.
