Hello!

I've been a member for quite a while but haven't actively posted until recently, so for all intents and purposes I'm a new member.

I'm Peter Schwartz, long-time US essay & proof collector (started in the mid-90s), philatelic author (two books, numerous articles). Over the last few years I've been focusing on a narrow range of early US tobacco taxpaid stamps and US reuse prevention essays.

Currently working on my first exhibit (who knew it would be so hard yet so much fun?) and working on several new articles slated for publication next year.

Cheers!

Peter Schwartz

Welcome. Though well out of my collecting interests, I'm sure I'll be following various discussions concerning your interests and pertinent articles. Looking forward to hearing more from you.

essay_proof,

Collecting for the enjoyment of collecting, whatever that might be, is the name of the game. Don't hesitate to ask questions especially if you need basic information and especially more advanced sources of information for any possible topic. You should be able to find folks on this board a little further along on their collecting journey glad to share experiences.

My personal bias is a used stamp loses the story of its journey in the postal service when it is removed from the cover it transported to its destination. Collecting postal history adds a whole new aspect to your journey in our hobby.

Wishing you many enjoyable future days in our hobby. Russ
