These are all British Commonwealth Omnibus Issues. The top ones commemorate the Royal Silver Wedding Anniversary of 1972, and a whole set is currently on ebay at http://cgi.ebay.com/COMMONWEALTH-19...TS_W0QQitemZ150411562836QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item23053a4f54

Look at the pictures nin this ad; it appears that they have the catalogue numbers above the stamps and show all the stamps you have also.

The ones at the bottom are also an Omnibus issue, this one commemorating the Royal Wedding of Princess Anne and Captain Mark Phillips in 1973 and information about them can be found here:

As far as finding them in Scott, sometimes there won't even be an illustration and you'll have to look under the applicable year for a heading in bold that says something like "Royal Wedding type of 1973", or some such thing.

Scott used to list them under "CD" for "Common Design Type" in vol. 1. I haven't looked up any of these in years so I'm not sure if they still do.

You're right on, rev. The Common Design Type section is still located at the front of each Scott catalog volume and is very helpful, albeit somewhat confusing to beginners.

ok confusing for me then,I ended up just grouping them up and starting the bids at .99 I guess if I post a very pricey stamp ill get to see a good bidding war.I just dont have the time to look each stamp up,If it only took me 1 minute to look up each stamp i,d still never finish in my life time and that would be cataloging 24/7
