Alyn, I'm right up the street in Ellenton. The only dealer I know of around here is in Venice. Maybe we should get together for a road trip...
I'm still up in the great white north, My inlaws are visiting my brother-in-law and offered to pick me up something from a local dealer (if there is one).
Alyn
Too bad, thought I had a fellow stamper in the area to commiserate with! Do you ever get down here???
I have never made it down there as my brother-in-law comes home frequently, i am not ruling out heading down but it is a ways in the future for now.

Alyn/Jozep--
MTO Stamps from Bradenton was at the Florida Stamp Show here in Orlando and will be here tomorrow as well.
Lots of other dealers too. I had a GREAT time and met a couple of SOR members.
I think MTO Stamps AND Quality Stamps from Venice will be at FLOREX the first weekend in December.

My Dad lived in Bradenton the last 20 years of his life and we would usually spend 3 weeks with him in the winter. Of course i would always search for a stamp dealer with no luck. I did attend about 3 of the stamp shows at the Sarasota convention center and of course Orlando 99. I have some happy memories of Bradenton but since my Dad passed away in 2009 i have not had the desire to return. There was a stamp dealer in Sarasota but sadly he moved to Arizona.
Alyn,
Sy and Lucy Bricker are the owners of MTO stamps. They are VERY well respected and are members of the Florida Stamp Dealers Association. They attend many of the Florida shows. I have dealt with them both as a customer as well as a dealer (I am A & B Stamps). I would encourage you to contact them as they are very fair with their customers and have very good material. They, as well as I, will be at the big stamp show here in Orlando the first weekend in December. FLOREX is the largest show in Florida and is an APS accredited show. Hope to see any of you at the show. Mention you are a member of Stamporama and I will be glad to give you a discount.

I would have loved to meet those folks..i looked and asked all over for any stamp dealers in Bradenton...i guess they did not want to advertise to the non collecting world as i saw or heard nothing about them. There was a shop that dealt with coins on Cortez...but of course no stamps !
When my in-laws are down there for Christmas I will ask them to look them up. Thanks.

Alyn and group,
If you are looking for a dealer in Florida, check the Florida Stamp Dealers webpage. There is a list of members and how to contact them.

Good evening all, does any one know of any stamp dealers in or around Bradenton Florida? I have found a listing for MTO Stamps in an online Yellow Pages but there is little to nothing else about them. Do any of our members from Florida have any information on them?
Many thanks,
Alyn
