- Do you agree with the author of this month’s Yesterday in Stamps feature that Collecting Covers has been a contributor to the welfare and future of the hobby since 1940? And do you feel it will be in the future?
- And on a related point, how do you feel about his statement, “Philately must depend for its future, for the maintenance of present values, and for the increases desired in market valuation of philatelic items….”? Do we need value increases to popularlize the hobby?
