2009 Black Book

I went to the local borders book store and picked up the "official Blackbook price guide to U.S. postage stamps sure wish it was in color but I've done alittle browsing through it and have learned a few things still lots to read I really need the scott books its to bad they are so much money id love to have a set I didnt even see them at the book store how do you get them? do you have to order them?

You can order the latest volumes though stamp dealers. Just google "Scott 2009 Catalogue" and compare. If you are using them for reference purposes but do not need current pricing information, you can save a lot of money by picking up a used set of older copies on ebay.

Thanks for the info

G'Day Tina a Scott's cd is much cheeper than the Scott's cataldogs

Tina, I dont think you really need the 2009 scott catalogs at this point..they would cost you over 300 dollars ! Why not start out with the 2003 catalogs I am offering...and take the prices in the "black book" with a grain of salt..they seem expensive to me !!

oh most deffinitaly Phil I was just wondering where you get them for way down the future as I get more into knowning what im kinda doing cause I went to borders and they didnt have to much in the stamp collecting section im curious alot sorry I know im a pain in the %$#

Good advice to get used catalogs for identification purposes and learning the ropes. Used catalogs are only a fraction ofr the cost for a new set. Personally, I'm primarily using 2003 Scott's. I have a 2008 US Specialized and a 2006 Classic Specialized. And, I have a 2007 Volume 1. The rest of the world is 2003.

I picked up a 2007 set today at my neighbourhood library for $2.50/volume.

Gotta love that.

Thats a great buy..i paid about $160 more than you for a set of 6 2008 delivered...and they were I am sad to say library discards..but I needed a complete year set..i will get a good 2 years out of them so I dont think $85 bucks a year is too bad...
