Postal Services is my theme of collecting, anyhow, I tried bidding on these dodgy thematics, and am very surprised with the prices they achieve. Is something amiss here?

While Scott may carry a lot of weight in the US, fortunately they are not the final authority. There are more than a few legitimate stamps that are missing from Scott (both catalog and albums). There are just some areas that Scott has decided they don't want to bother covering in detail anymore. Fortunately, there is SG, Michel...
