Ok and as a serious note, some people would like to catalogue their stamps according to Scotts Cat. and need the Scotts # more than they actually need the value. to properly organize their albums. Most stamps have not been updated value wise in Scotts anyway. unless u are collecting brand new 2013 stamps? Regards,
i have to agree that it is more for the number than value, as i already have this version but i am looking to update to a later version soon just for the scott # of the later stamp issues
Is there a certain catalogue that's best for different kinds of collections? (Geographically, I mean) What's the dif. between the various publishers?
Stanley Gibbons is by far the best for GB and commonwealthm Scott is best for USA and so on, but for all round collecting i use the scott worldwide dvd as offered here, i do use the SG catalogs for the more specilised stamps of GB and commonwealth but not very often
My opinion (erm!) is that catalogues do not give accurate stamp values anyway. (waiting to be shot down in flames here). Since internet stamp sites have become so popular, stamp values have plummeted and certain stamps bear no relation to their so called catalogue value at all.
i will agree with you there the values in catalogs do sometimes seem inflated or in the odd case under valued according to what they are being sold for on the internet, my use is for insurance purpose only. the catalogs are mostly for sorting the collection lol
The purpose that the Scott company use to post in the catalogs, was that the price quoted represented the price expected to pay for a certain grade of the stamp and that included the handling costs by the dealer ( only B&M type then). So a common used stamp one could soak off of then current postage would have a minimum charge such as 5,10,20 cents, etc. Oh, the fortune one could have by buying a 10 kilo box lot
I'm really sorry I haven't been on the forums for a long time and didn't get any messages from you so didn't really bother coming back and follow up the situation ( I was on a business trip and got really busy ) if you are still interested please check your messages I have just sent you one. Thanks
