Dear Collector,

Time has a way of slipping by, and for Linda and me that time has truly been a wonderful journey defined by family and first day covers. Our 60th Wedding Anniversary is just around the corner on October 10th and in March 2028 we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Collins First Day Covers. Wow!

The time has come for the two of us to pause, for the most part, in our roles as active cachetmakers. Linda and I now plan to relax and enjoy time with our family, including our two recent great-grandchildren. Although I will no longer be creating covers for new issues, I look forward to continuing Collins First Day Covers in a variety of ways.

Cachetmaking has been my career for more than 46 amazing years. I love all aspects of this business and hobby, but most especially I have enjoyed getting to know you, my collectors. I always appreciate our interactions at stamp shows, conversations over the phone, or notes in the mail. I am truly grateful for all of my collectors over the years. Thank you for your continued support of Collins First Day Covers.

 

 With heartfelt regards,
