Who am I?
I’m Larry Rosenblum. I’ve been collecting British stamps for over 20 years. I’m the official webmaster and secretary/treasurer of the Great Britain Collectors Club. For ten years, my colleague, David Alderfer, and I wrote the monthly Great Britain column for Linn’s Stamp News. I retired in 2002, but David still writes it, and it appears on the second Monday of each month. Our book, derived from our columns, is pictured at left. It is available from Amos Press. Just type ‘rosenblum’ in the search window.
I now write the quarterly column “British Beat” for Scott Stamp Monthly.
Take a look at my Machinmobile.
Meet my new girlfriend. See me at the top of
Half Dome in
Yosemite National Park. See the rare giant Machin I found at the
Grand Canyon.
Or, see the result of excessive Machin Mania.
Many who visit this site assume I am British, but I was born in and have always lived in the
United States.
Currently I live in
California.
Please write to me at
and say hello.
GBStamps.com won a silver medal in the National Philatelic Website Competition held at Midaphil 2000. At that time, Midaphil was an American Philatelic Society “World Series of Philately” show. Back to top.
