When I was at the APS winter show in Riverside this past February, I had a chance to rummage through some dealers' cover boxes.

Imagine my surprise when I came upon this:

So you know I had to grab it!

Now you have to put it for auction and give Craig a chance to buy it back!

I know, right?! (I probably should've gone out and bought a lottery ticket that day, too!)

Just saying.....

There are a few of these floating around from my former subscribers, but it's always a joy to come across one. The self-addressed #10s were provided by subscribers for me to mail their mini sheets, FDCs, etc., to them. I sold my remaining stock to Bill Hornadge of the Stamp News in Australia. They put up mini sheets and unaddressed FDCs on eBay all the time.

The Pineapple Post made me a somewhat famous person in the '70s and '80s. Linn's and Western Stamp Collector used to run the publicity releases I'd send them, re new issues. At stamp shows, bourse dealers often recognized my name and introduced me as the "Pineapple Post postmaster" to their customers.

The Hawaiian Philatelic Society used to have them in their club auctions all the time.

Thanks for sharing this, Dave!

Philatarium,

First printing press west of the Rockies, I believe. At Lahainaluna School on Maui.
