| | Married to a Philatelist |
 | | At a yard sale or a flea market, nothing makes my philatelist happier than to find a shabby-looking book or box of old stamps where the seller is unaware of what a treasure he is practically “giving away”. | | | Your home will be decorated with piles of Linn’s Stamp News, The American Philatelist, and Scott’s catalogues, so each year your décor will be a different color, courtesy of Scott’s and the APS. | | | However, the postal workers and mailman seem to feel a special affinity to the collector and are very accommodating to him. |

| | The Rail Philatelist Newsletter |
| | The real number of serious stamp collectors is probably less than 70,000 and may not be too far different from the 55,500 paid circulation of Linn's, certainly many fewer than the 22 million the USPS counts as stamp collectors. | | | This is significant because recent articles showing a declining subscriber base and total circulation of almost 200,000 for the six major stamp periodicals (American Philatelist, Global Stamp News, Linn's Stamp News, Mekeel's and Stamps, Scott Stamp Monthly, and Stamp Collector) means that fewer than 100,000 different individuals actually subscribe. | | | That means they get two or more publications (I get ten!). |

| | While alternative definitions of fair market value generally conform to the above, there are sometimes subtle but critical differences which an appraiser must take into account depending on the jurisdiction or other requirement. | | | For example, the definition adopted by the American Society of Appraisers stipulates that value is the "most probable price" while the definition adopted by Revenue Canada specifies the "highest price". | | | While fair market value reflects the consensus opinion of all investors, investment value is based on the opinion of a specific investor. |
