Scott US catalogues
Santa gave me some cash for Christmas to spend unwisely so I guess it's time I updated my
1995 Scott catalog. I collect US in Scott albums including the revenue album. The question is would I do better to buy the part 1 or the US specialised? None of the websites I have been to give much of an idea what the difference is between the two. |

John,
Part 1 is the same format/coverage of any country. Specialized includes revenues and other material neglected in the standard country listing. -- Bill Lehr JOBI Philatelic Services specializing in US postal stationery APEX, APS, NSDA, SDI, IFSDA, IPDA, UPSS, PSS 312 Lower Coleville RD Bellefonte, PA 16823-8726 814-355-8871 http://jobi.bizhosting.com "John Mycroft" wrote in message . ..

Thanks - sounds like the specialized is a bit over the top for my needs. Vol 1 seems to cover pretty much everything in the Scott
revenue album so I will blow my cash on that. Thanks for the tip about testing, too - bit late now! Cheers - John |

Were it me I'd do the Specialized since it does cover more. Cost is the
same! John D. John Mycroft wrote: Thanks - sounds like the specialized is a bit over the top for my needs. Vol 1 seems to cover pretty much everything in the Scott revenue album so I will blow my cash on that. Thanks for the tip about testing, too - bit late now! Cheers - John |

I like Volume 1 since I collect both US and Australian stamps, but if you only collect US the specialized volume, as others have posted, has much more information. I have both catalogs on CD's. I notice that the prices for my older US plate blocks are about half what they were in my printed 1981 specialized catalog. Oh, well, I didn't start collecting stamps as an investment... Bill |

Thanks, Everyone
After much soul searching, I decided on the US Specialised, even though it covers a whole load of stuff that doesn't interest me (ie I can't afford!). The vol 1 seemed to be mostly countries I had no interest in. Now to save up for a new classic (I wonder what a very dilapidated 2001 edition would fetch on ebay!)
