Cachet Display Catalog: FDC Cachetmakers Index

      This page displays First Day Cover (FDC) cachets created from 1997 through about 2001 by Krause Publications (Wikipedia) of Iola, WI and the Stamp Collector Newspaper ("S.C.") of Albany, OR (Editor ?). This series of cachets were serviced on both FDC's and Special Events. Note that the "KP" Krause logo does not appear on a cachet until Series #6 . Until further research proves otherwise, I am assuming Krause printed all of these cachets in Iola. I do not know yet what arrangement Krause and "S.C." made about producing these cachets. On a somewhat related note, this period overlaps the years when Krause published the Krause-Minkus Standard Catalog of U.S. Stamps (1998-2004). Except as noted by "{A}" (my personal collection), all other displayed covers were found on the Web.

      Total number of cachets produced verified: "there are 24 numbered, plus an additional 1997 Wisconsin sesquicentennial forerunner" (Youngblood)

• Krause Publications and Stamps, R.I.P., see [#337, 49(6), 9-01-2004, p. 6] "Hobby Pub Consolidation Continues", The Editor's Forum by Peter Martin:
        "The consolidation of stamp publications took another ominous turn with the June 24 announcement that Sidney, Ohio, based Amos Press had purchased the stamp publishing group of Krause Publications, Iola, Wis., a subsidiary of F&W Publications of Cincinnati.
        F&W purchased Krause in 2002 and wasn't willing to invest in the struggling stamp division's future.
        The sale to Amos Press means the demise of the fortnightly Stamp Collector newspaper, the Stamp Wholsaler, which had ceased individual issues and had been a part of Stamp Collector, and the Minkus Catalog.
        That leaves Amos' Linn's Stamp News as the only significant provider of stamp news.
        Linn's has been the news leader for decades but it benefited from the competition with other publications. That's all over for now."
