I have been a member of the American Philatelic Society (APS) since 1972 and recommend the society to all who are interested in any aspect of philately. Click the logo below to visit the APS website for more information.

Click the logo below to join the APS. This link will bring up a .pdf form which can be printed out and mailed in. If you join the APS from this link, I would appreciate it if you would use my name (John L. Kimbrough) as the referring dealer (proposer). My APS Number is 077496.

Be sure to look for the dealer's American Stamp Dealers Association (ASDA) logo. It identifies the dealer as someone who subscribes to the ASDA Code of Conduct (Ethics). I have been a member since 1989. Click the logo below to visit the ASDA Website.

Below are a few more important links to the Philatelic Web. I am very selective about which links to post as I only add links on request to sites that I know practice the highest integrity. If you have a philatelic link that you would like to see posted here, send me an E-mail so that I can check it out. All the links open in new windows or tabs.

"The Rebel Post - Collecting the Confederate Era."

This article is part of her commercial Confederate philatelic website at www.csadealer.com.

Eric Jackson Revenue Stamps is certainly a major site on the philatelic web for the Revenue Specialist.

History of Postcards -- Although postcards as we know them today were not in use during the time of the Civil War, I found this link on the history of  postcard postal use and postcard collecting to be very interesting.

 The Second Continental Congress and the US Postal Service  -- An article from the State of Wyoming which is an overview of the beginnings and developement of the US Postal Service which I found to be quite interesting.
