Yep. That was me too starting 52 years ago right about now. Was fascinated a few years before by the first loose FDC’s I saw. Took me awhile to figure out what the hobby was and that blank cachets were publicly available.

Rode the bus downtown to buy a (print) copy of Linn’s Stamp News at a specialty newsstand, just about this time of year. It just so happened to have a large Artcraft ad offering blank envelopes for the announced subjects for 1973. My order went in quickly and I was in.

Probably have 98 percent of the issues for the first 45 years. But when the need for stamps shrank AND the post office started insisting on minimum quantities; I got more selective.

Wallace Stegner, Bernard DeSoto and Aldo Leopold. 3 great literarists and noted conservationists. Long….long overdue!

In reply to Foster Miller. Coffee mugs? Stickers? T-shirts? Heck, the USPS couldn't even include Jimi Hendrix in its Stamp Yearbook.
