Hi everyone - I'm new to this forum. I'm 56 years old and started collecting when I was around 10 years old growing up on Long Island. My parents fostered my collecting so I quickly acquired a set of Big Blues and a Scott Specialized US album. Over the years, I started to move my US collection to White Ace (about 15 volumes thru 2010) and 5 White Ace albums for Israel.



I'm tried printing my own albums for Brazil and Greece and I'm thinking about printing Tom Kendall's Mostly Classics US pages as I'm focusing on the US classics.



I got serious about collecting after stumbling upon Graham Beck's YouTube series in 2021. I now go to at least 4-5 stamp shows a year.


I belong to APS, CCNY, RPSL, USPCS and ATA and love listening to the Stamp Show Here Today podcast.  I was at the National Postal Museum gala in Washington DC in October and was the Collector's Club dinner this past Saturday.


I'm an entertainment lawyer and have a software company.

With all of that said, I now have two core collecting areas: 4th Bureau and the postal history/commercial mail of the music business (covers from record labels like RCA Records, Atlantic Records, music publishers, historic concert venues, etc.).



Happy to be here!

thanks, David Fritz
