John Robert Boker, Jr. : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Robert Boker, Jr.
John Robert Boker, Jr. (1913–2003), of New York City, was a philatelist who amassed some of the most prestigious collections of 19th century stamps ever seen by stamp collectors. Before his death in 2003, the Collectors Club of New York declared him, in 1996, to be the "outstanding philatelist of the last half of the twentieth century." ==Collecting interests== Boker was able to put together some of the finest collections of rare postage stamps ever seen in philately, with his German States collection probably being his finest. He was also an expert in early American postal history, and was responsible for rewriting large sections of the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalog with regard to United States postmaster provisionals, locals and carriers. John Boker also accumulated large collections of Australian States, State of Buenos Aires, Confederate States of America, Fernando Po, Ionian Islands, Réunion, Romania, Serbia, and the Spanish Philippines. His research of U.S. postal history allowed him to write extensive articles on the subject. He owned the only known surviving copy of the Buenos Aires 1859 1p "In Ps" tete-beche pair. He was also interesting in precancels of United States stamps, and had almost a complete collection. Among other work he dedicated to the subject, he was editor of the Hoover Brothers ''Precancel Town List''.
