Show detail Hide detail

This collection consists of two philatelic exhibits, titled "Trail of a Find" and "Trail of a Find Part 2." These exhibits detail the work of philatelic collector David Stein in locating and exhibiting modern postage stamps with errors. After having serendipitously found a sheet of stamps with misplaced perforations at a local postal counter, Stein began a collecting hobby that would lead him to finding additional erroneous stamps for his exhibitions. The collection also consists of textual records related to the exhibitions in which Stein's collection were featured, news articles about the stamps and Stein's dealings with philatelic publications with the eventual result of adding the errors that he identified to postage stamp catalogues.
