/// Number 1 & 2 September & October, 1967 Volume 6 THE FUN'S IN THE CHASE by Ira Seebacher The collecting of sports stamps has been a preoccupation of this collector for a greater number of years than would be unashamedly acknowledged. In this period, if there has been any particular nug get of knowledge above all else that we have absorbed, it is that the most interesting material most often is not that which is readily obtained. By this, we do not mean that the most interesting material is so expensive, so far out of reach of the average collector as to be a museum piece. What we do mean is that sports stamps themselves are basic to a collection but sooner or later each collector must come to realize that there are worlds and worlds of collecting fields beyond that which is embraced by Scott's Catalogue. This, then is the theme of a planned series of articles which will appear in future issues. These will explore some of these collecting areas, untouched by most and, we suspect, even unknown to more than just a few.
