A new era for Linn’s Stamp News familiar look

Philatelic Foreword by Jay Bigalke

If you’ve been following along with the news, you know it’s an exciting time for stamp collectors. With the formation of Scott Stamp LLC and the transition of Linn’s Stamp News, Scott Stamp Monthly, and the Scott catalogs into ownership by collectors, we’re entering a new era, one that honors our past while building for the future.

You’ll start to notice some changes in the coming weeks and months. Behind the scenes, we’re moving mountains of digital and physical files, databases, and archives. That transfer process takes time and care. It’s not as simple as flipping a switch, and neither is ramping up new editorial and production systems. But progress is happening every day, and I’m confident you’ll soon start to see the results in the form of fresher updates, improved imagery, and expanded content.

You may have already spotted one of the first visible updates right here in these pages: the new Linn’s Stamp News logo. Along with the new Scott logo, the Linn’s logo was engraved by master engraver and designer Martin Mörck, whose artistry has graced more than 1,000 postage stamps for dozens of countries around the world. His work brings a tangible connection to the craft and heritage of engraving that’s central to our hobby’s identity.

As we make these changes, our email addresses are also in the process of being updated to reflect our new Scott Stamp LLC online home. During this transition, messages sent to our previous addresses will continue to reach us, but you may begin to see new @scottstamp.com addresses appearing soon.

It’s a reminder that while technology continues to evolve, the beauty of fine engraving, detail, and tradition still endures, and so does our shared enthusiasm for the hobby.

Thank you for your patience and support as we move through this transition. The next chapter for Linn’s, Scott Stamp Monthly, and the Scott catalogs is taking shape, and I can’t wait to share more of what’s ahead.
