Richard McPherren (Sandy[1]) Cabeen (May 11, 1887 – April 13, 1969) was a well-known philatelist in the Chicago area, and one of the foremost writers of philatelic literature.
Cabeen also wrote a series of monographs entitled The Chicago Tribune Series of Booklets on United States Stamps, and in 1957 published his book, The Standard Handbook of Stamp Collecting, which has been reprinted a number of times.
He and Dr. Carroll Chase co-authored The First Hundred Years of Territorial Postmarks 1787-1887, originally a series of articles which was later published in book form.
The Chicago Philatelic Society named him an Honorary Life Member and presented him with the Newbury Award in 1953.
