The front page of Linn's issue of Aug. 8, 1960, reported on the upcoming 66th annual convention of the Society of Philatelic Americans, taking place Aug. 18-21, 1960, in St. Louis.
In his editorial, founder George W. Linn published a reader's letter addressing several subjects, including small stamp-issuing countries, gum on stamps and plate numbers.
"[The reader's letter] touches on some of the questions we have written about in the past couple of years," wrote Linn. "We think a careful reading and study of this missive will be beneficial."
Dealer S. Pinchot of New York City advertised mint singles of United States Scott 292, the $1 black Western Cattle in Storm stamp from the Trans-Mississippi Exposition issue of 1898, for $110. Today, a mint never-hinged single catalogs at $3,400.
