Stamp Collecting Basics - The Scott Catalogue: More Than Just Stamp Values (Pt 1)

The Scott Catalogue is the standard stamp catalogue used by American collectors. But many collectors seem to be unaware of all of the information it contains that goes beyond stamp values. In this episode I will give a detailed comprehensive look at everything you can learn by reading your catalogue.

Great video Ted! If I ever get a Scott Catalogue, rewatching this video will be the first thing I do! Happy Stamping!

Thanks, Dan.

Thanks for this Ted. I actually didn’t realize that the omnibus issues are listed; that’s helpful to know.

[@tedtalksstamps]

You’re welcome Jeff. Thanks for watching.

Nice info. Should help me get more out of my catalog. The Scott US catalog is also full of info I keep being surprised by.

Thank you for the video. The only thing that I hate in the Scott catalog is that they separated airmaile and semi-postal stamps. Personally for me, this is very uncomfortable.

[@tedtalksstamps]

I understand your feelings, as other catalogs do not do this. On the other hand, there are many collectors who only collect airmail stamps who do like this system. Thanks for watching.

Thanks so much for this, as usual, greatly informative and interesting video. I don't have a Scott catalogue, but I must surely study catalogues I obtain in detail, starting on page one. ... I didn't know that condition and grading of a stamp are not the same and that grading only entails the centering of a stamp! Take care!!!!!!

Thank you, Charnie. I'm so glad you liked it.

Terrific video. You're absolutely correct that there are many that aren't familiar with the information on the pages at the beginning of the catalog. Looking forward to the next installment.
