Good show, Phil!

Will you be getting a set of Stanley Gibbons for the British Commonwealth stamps in your collection?

Bobgggg:

The SG catalogue is far more detailed than the Scott catalogue, for the British Empire & Commonwealth.

Thanks T360...i respect your judgement...for me the logistics of driving 30 mile round trip and a bridge toll and half a day spent in a library when I want to check a catalog value of a stamp doesnt make much sense !!

I agree. For me to go to the library that has SC would be a 40 min drive there--plus time spent. Of course, I don't have to worry about that thanks to Triggersmob who won a set here on this FANTASTIC forum and had them sent to me!
Life is good when you have Aussie friends like that!

I only use the catalogues for the listings, and then again, it's the ones found at the Public Library. I photocopy the counrty's entry (can get two pages at a time on one page) and use them as checklists. Every year I only have to add a page or two.

I may consult the up-to-date prices if I'm on a buying spree, since my local dealer sells at Scott prices.

You're absolutely right Phil! If we don't spend it on ourselves or our stamps our kids will fight over it.
