The Authoritative Journal
The United States Specialist, has been devoted to all aspects of U.S. philately. Since 1930, The Specialist has been especially strong in reporting on printing technology, plate varieties, plate layouts, marginal markings and plate numbering. Many important discoveries in U.S. collecting have been published in its pages which have resulted in new and variety listings in the Scott Specialized Catalogue of U.S. Stamps and Covers. The Specialist contains news of the hobby and short features of interest on general collecting topics. These may include collecting approaches, new materials, design information, postage rates and usage, freaks and errors.
Every issue of The Specialist remains a useful reference work for years to come. The Specialist is also available as a bound volume at the end of every year. Both monthly issues and bound volumes of past years have been in strong demand in the philatelic literature market.
