Linn’s Editor, Jay Bigalke, wrote on the journal’s website that the 26th August issue of Linn’s Stamp News marks the 5,000th issue of the publication, a milestone that took 97 years to achieve. A special article looking back at some of the past issues, notably the first, 1,000th, 2,000th, 3,000th, and 4,000th issues, appears in the 26th August issue.
He added that issue No. 5,000 of Linn’s Stamp News will be the last printed edition. Future issues will be produced in digital format only.
Linn’s Stamp News was first published in 1928 by George Ward Linn (1884–1966).
