Celebrating Our Philatelic Heritage

Founded in 1896

One of America's oldest continuously operating stamp collecting clubs

The San Antonio Philatelic Association (SAPA) has been bringing together stamp collectors from all walks of life for more than 125 years.

Our organization provides a welcoming environment for philatelists of all experience levels, from beginners to advanced collectors. Whether you're interested in classic stamps, postal history, topical collecting, or any other aspect of the hobby, you'll find kindred spirits at SAPA.

Our weekly meetings feature educational presentations, trading sessions, auctions, and plenty of opportunities to share knowledge and stories. We also organize special events and exhibitions throughout the year, including our annual SAPA EXPO.
