Tom, what numbers do they come in? Do they have a specialized format of numers? Like they have only 5 digits maybe?  |

The Scott catalog numbers are integers between 1 (the 1847 5c Franklin stamp) and 4126 (the 2007 Liberty Bell Forever stamp). The winner will correctly name the five stamps with the lowest catalog numbers that I have in my collection. |

This is actually a pretty hard contest because requires some knowledge of early US stamps to guess the ones I am most likely to have in my collection (the cheaper ones). #2, the 1847 10c Washington is too expensive for me.

The winning answer: 7-9-10-11-14  Boy you were so close, LeAnn! I had already posted pictures of the 7,9 & 14, so I didn't think it would be too hard to guess the 10 & 11. |

WOW! I just picked the first five issues that I thought I could afford myself. I didn't even think to look at the pics you had posted. Since I don't collect U.S. why don't you throw the catalog back into the pot for the next contest. I have a '98 catalog, and I'm sure someone else would get much more use out of it. I just had fun looking at the catalog and playing the game. Thanks, t360  |
