The other day I was going thru the forum and came across a link to an amazing set of summaries of worldwide definitive series, listing values, colors, catalog numbers etc. in a nicely organized format. I neglected to capture the link for future use, and have been trying to relocate it for days now, with no success. The link appeared in a one-line response at the end of a string. If someone recognizes what I am referring to, would you be so kind as to repeat the link here?

Thank you so much, Don! That link is a wonderful resource, and reflects a lot of work.
P.S. I used to own an early-50's Studebaker a lot like the one in your picture. Only mine was a yucky blue-green. I bought it for $50. Thanks for the memory, too.

Hi Seigaku

Going to the link I realized that you were referring to my tables, StampRefs. A little bit of background.

I was working part time for a stamp dealer breaking down collections for stock. While working on a Mexico collection, I realized we were spending a lot of time flipping catalog pages following the "See..." notes. I created a table that followed the notes and put everything in a single spot. After that, tables were created for other countries in which there are a lot of notes. Later, specialized tables, especially Colombia, my collecting area, were created to answer questions.

Once tables were established, it was relatively easy to create a new table. A new table is created using a previous table as a template. Thus, a table could be created in no more than a day.

Thanks for the background, Jerry--
I also collect Latin America, and tables like these are especially useful for complicated series like the Mexican Exportas. Unfortunately, some catalogs don't tend to report UV tagging and luminescence properties very well, so for my own purposes, I may try to expand your tables a bit for some of the Latin American defins issued during the 1970s and 80s when UV was being experimented with. I would be happy to share the results.

That would be great. If you want to add a table that would be great also. Just send things through the Box Cloud as tables may be too big to e-mail. I'll set up a BOX folder for you. Once your changes and/or tables have been incorporated into StampRefs, I will update the cloud Site so all will have access. Of course you will be credited for any updates.

To open the BOX account I will need your e-mail address. Please send it to my e-mail listed below.
