Since 1981 Peter has been writing the nation’s premier, weekly, nationally syndicated, newspaper column on Stamps, Coins, and Collectibles featured in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Sacramento Bee, Tacoma News Tribune, Springfield Republican, Washington Times and dozens of other major newspapers across the country. Peter is a three-time winner of the New York Times Lidman Award for his newspaper column, and is a regular consultant and guest on the CBS and FOX Radio Networks, as well as television programs including NBC’s Today Show.
Peter’s Treasure Hunt feature column won the MCNA First Place Award for Regular Feature. It is the only feature column that — in one news hole — intrigues, enriches and excites collectors about the topics most important and profitable to them! Treasure Hunt includes high-quality visuals transmitted with every column. It’s ideal for in-paper and online editions, because it attracts both readers and advertisers.
Government statistics reported that over 150 million people in the U.S. collect rare coins, stamps, currency, autographs, sports memorabilia and related collectible areas. Historically, over half of all newspaper readers are collectors. The U.S. Mint reports that over 100 million people collect rare coins. Dow Jones MarketWatch reports $40 billion spent by collectors annually.
The collectibles market is trickier than ever. Millennials are more intrigued with digital entertainment than collecting artifacts. They are liquidating collectible assets that they inherit, rather than try to maintain them. Whether you want to collect or sell a piece of history, Treasure Hunt can help!
Now the Treasure Hunt feature column is available to new newspaper subscribers for reduced rates. Contact Peter for information at peterrexford@gmail.com
