Just received an e-mail today from Amos Publishing about Volume 1 of the 2013 Scott Catalog with this summary of the changes that have apparently taken place within that volume:
Quote:
Almost 13,500 value changes are recorded in this year's edition. Market activity for U.S. material remains robust. Of the 1,745 U.S. value changes recorded, about 500 are recorded in postage. Eighteen new major errors are also included in this year's Volume 1.
Among the A-B countries, significant numbers of value changes are recorded for Albania (2,066), Angola (1,071), Bulgaria (901) and Aitutaki (769).
On the editorial side, the minimum catalogue value of 20˘ has been raised to 25˘. New listings have been added for Biafra. Despite the country only being in existence less than 3 years, the Biafran listings consist of a total 31 stamps, two souvenir sheets and two minor color varieties.
