Scott Tilson (born May 11, 1963) is an American businessman who owned poetry.com[2] and is the founder of "The International Collectors Society".
[5] In 1992, Tilson, along with his new business partner Jeffrey Franz, launched "The International Collectors Society" (ICS).
[3][6] The ICS operated by mass-market advertising, pushing its products via supermarket tabloids and magazines rather than the specialist hobby media used by most stamp dealerships.
[5] Initially, the company was formed with the idea of distributing Elvis Presley memorabilia, but when this endeavour failed to take off Franz and Tilson returned to postage stamps.
The company grew to over 2,000,000 paying members and they held conventions 3 times per year, each of which was attended by over 2500 poets.
