Kelleher Auction 824th
Celebrating 140 Years
Larry Peterson began collecting stamps in his early teens and has remained an avid collector ever since. He remembers riding his bike to the stamp store in town to acquire prized additions to his collection, saving monies earned to fill the next space. Funds were tight, and often he wouldn’t add anything to the album for many months. He was always pleased to receive a special stamp or two as a Christmas gift, which became a family tradition.
All his life, he looked for U.S. issues to fill out his collection, starting with cancelled stamps, saved off of the mail, and later moving up to uncanceled issues when available.
In 1975, this boyhood pastime was rejuvenated as he came back to a hobby that had been set aside to focus on a job and his family. Starting with the year sets from the Post office as issued he spent countless hours of enjoyment filling in the pages of his album. Stamp collecting followed him all his life and in the late 1990s and early 2000s he decided he would begin collecting every United States stamp—quite an endeavor! Now crossing over to a serious philatelist, Larry was introduced to Bob Prager, who assisted him with his quest, adding as much as he could as often as he could. As with many collectors, Larry loved sharing his passion with his children and their children.
His personal favorite is the Position 1 #C3a, which is shown on the front cover of the catalog.
This catalog and, more importantly, the stamps contained within, are evidence of his long-time love of stamps and collecting, and he hopes to pass his joy of collecting on to you.
