Stamp collectors acquire the Scott catalog and Linn’s Stamp News

Scott Stamp LLC acquires iconic brands from Amos Media Co.

Scott Stamp LLC, a new company formed by longtime philatelic leader, Jay Bigalke, and fellow philatelist, David Fritz, has acquired the Scott Catalog, Scott Stamp Monthly, and Linn’s Stamp News from Amos Media Co.

The acquisition places these cornerstone publications of the stamp hobby into the hands of passionate collectors dedicated to strengthening and modernizing philately for future generations.

Product sales will continue to be available through AmosAdvantage.com, and subscriptions can be purchased through Linns.com. Both will operate in partnership with Amos Media Co. during the transition period.

“It’s incredibly meaningful to see these trusted names in philately return to collector ownership,” said Jay Bigalke, President and CEO in Scott Stamp LLC. “Our mission is simple: to honor the legacy of Scott and Linn’s while investing in new tools and ideas that help the hobby thrive.”

“This is a great day for stamp collecting,” said Don Sundman of Mystic Stamp Company and one of several collector-investors supporting the new venture. “The Scott Catalog and Linn’s have guided generations of collectors—including me—and now they’ll continue to do so under leadership that truly loves the hobby.”

“We’re proud to have been stewards of these important brands for decades,” said Rick Amos, CEO of Amos Media Co. “Jay and David’s passion and expertise ensure that the Scott and Linn’s legacy will continue to inspire collectors for many years to come.”

Additional details about the transition and a road map of upcoming plans will be shared soon at  scottstamp.com and linns.com.
