Scott National Vs. Commemorative Supplements

I'm getting a bit lazy about making my own pages. And going to go with Scott supplements for the wider pages and the clean look. Does any one have experience with either or both types? I like to keep my definitives in a separate album from my commemoratives. Do the commem. supplements include all commem. including souvenir sheets? Or just the singles and se-tenants. Do the National pages have everything and do they keep definitives on separate pages from the commemoratives?

Yes to the souvenir sheets. I think both supplements had s/s on separate pages. If you chose not to collect souvenir sheets you could just throw out those pages. Nobody ever does.

I believe Scott generally only provides spaces for se-tens, not both singles and se-tens.




They have spaces for major Scott numbers, not the lower case "a", "b", etc listed varieties or shades. The exceptions are se-ten blocks. Plus they still may have a separate page for #C3a(!) but not for other inverted centers.

Definitives are not on separate National pages.

Be aware my info is ten years old, though nothing had really changed in all the old Nationals and various US supplements from previous decades. If nobody pipes up here, you can also try and ask Scott.

Thanks hy-brasil. I bought both the national and the commemorative singles supplement for 2015 to compare. I liked the lay out of some pages on both and hated the layout on other pages. The National keeps regular issues separate from standard commemoratives, but they do intermingle them with Christmas and Love issues. I guess I can live with this. I might just buy both supplements and pull the pages I want and then try and sell the leftovers. There is bound to be someone out there that would like Scott pages, even if they don't all say National in the margin. At a discount of course.
