Thanks wt1. Appreciate the link provided.
I was talking just these three items.
Title of Issue , Year of Issued and Denominations for that issue.
No Scott number etc.

Could you be a little more explicit, maybe with an example of how you intend to use such information?

Seems to me it would be impossible to mount a stamp exhibit if it were impossible to do this.

If this excel spreadsheet is for your own use, then I cannot imagine any problem. But in your first post, you said something about "publish and distribute." Why do you think this would be illegal? Have you ever seen a dealer list? An advertisement in a stamp magazine? A listing on ebay? How else do you go about describing a specific stamp without such basic information?

Don't let the controversy over Scott numbers get in the way of common sense here. A basic description of something cannot be illegal, otherwise communication would be impossible.
