The latest Linn's had very little dealer advertising except for Amos Media ads.
In October 2024, Scott had this. As I read it, SSM had around 8700 subscribers. This was before all the issues with printing.

Thank you Al & Mike. I suspected that the circulation was down and I also noticed the marked decline in non-Amos display ads in the last Linn's. There also appears to be a decrease in the number of Classified Ads.
I miss receiving the printed copy in the mail every week, especially the much larger earlier issues. Remember, they use to be tabloid-size.

I also noticed in the last Linn's that there were not many ads except for Scott or amosadvantage ads. The issue had only 24 pages but most are the usual columns and new issue related articles. I also noticed that Scott Stamp Monthly has some of the same article subject related to new issues.

I just received the latest Linn's Stamp News. It is down to 16 pages, no non-Amos ads and classified ads take up less than 2/3s of a page. I noticed that some of the ads for mixtures that have been running for a long time are no longer there. Probably not enough business to justify the cost of the ad.
So sad!

Indeed. Except for Hotchner's and Stamp Market Tips columns, there are only new issue related stories. For what it is, it might as well be free.

Does anyone know the current circulation figures for Linn's Stamp News which is now only as a digital edition and Scott Stamp Monthly which is available in both print and digital editions?
