Austin Texas Stamp Club was founded in 1938. Since then, many with
interest in philately, from novices to more experienced collectors of all
ages have gathered to learn about our hobby, trade stamps and to participate
in many of the activities the club has to offer. Today the club
has more than 100 members. Dues are $10.00 a year for adults, $5.00 for 18-year-olds and
under.
