The many Eastern Europe stamps that appear to be CTO (gum intact with partial cancel)- are they valued as Used in the Scott catalogue or new or something else?
In Scott, CTOs are considered used. Unless otherwise stated, Scott makes no distinction between CTO or postally used stamps.
Michel, on the other hand, does make the distinction on certain stamps from East Germany (DDR) - listing prices for both CTO and postally used - but not all. I'm not familiar with Stanley Gibbons or Yvert catalogues, but am curious if they separate the two.
