Could you describe the stamps, please? Scott numbers in isolation don't mean much to those of us who've never seen a Scott catalogue! |

Hi: The COB catalogue has a totaly different listing sequence. Scott 144-61 in COB is 190-210 counting the 2F,5F,10F. This does not include the sub types,color differences.The Scott 254-5 are COB 375 & 375A I think this is about right;maybe someone else must verify..  |

Nice link! Tonight, I am going to make an album page for Scott 144-161. Can anyone with the COB let me know if there are any fun varieties of COB 190-210 and 254-257 that I should watch for? Thanks!! |

It is a Belgian postage stamp catalog - Catalogue Officiel de timbres-poste de Belgique. In Flemish ( Dutch ) it would be the "Officiele Catalogus van Belgische postzegels ( OCB ).

In answer to Kelump question:
Yes there are a lot of things to look out for. Different colors(mostly nuances), some plate flaws and also other little mishaps.
I would not mind posting a scan, but I am in doubt about what is or is not allowed(it being 1.5 pages from the catalogue).
I will scan the pages and mail them to you. Mind you they are in Dutch.
Personal Opinion: The COB is a really good catalog.

I've never heard of a COB catalogue. (dislike acronyms, lazy typists) Is it this one ?  |

Correct Rod, but your picture is the Dutch edition, the OCB ( Officiele Catalogus Belgie ). And I agree with your acronym statement. Those should not be used on an international forum
