2012 Scott Catalogs - Price Increases

Has anyone taken notice that the new 2012 Scott Catalogs are going for $99 (retail) and $69 (AA member price)?

The 2011 Scott Catalogs were $79 (retail) and $59 (AA member price).

At those prices, the secondary market keeps sounding better for such items.

WT1 yes unless you are a serious dealer..the secondary market..i would say 2 years old is the way to go...our club has been flush lately and we purchased the scratch and dent 2011 catalogs for $138 total with shipping...i borrow them to catalog my duplicates..some countries have doubled in catalog value and others have stayed exactly the same since 2008....the scott catalogs are not cheap...we went to a small stamp show Sunday and one older gent who had a table was believe it or not using the 1996 A to Z catalogs and a 2008 U.S. specialized..but he was selling at mainly 10 cents a stamp from pick books !
