Does Any One Know Which Stamp Catalogs Schaubek Stamp Albums Are Based On?

I am trying to find out which stamp catalogs the Schaubek albums are based on or if they are all different.

Any help would be appreciated.

They have their own editors that choose the layout and what to include, and I don't think they match any standard catalog exactly, but they're closest to Michel.

It's a German album designed and produced in Germany, so I'd assume they look at the Michel catalogue. But they aren't the producer of the Michel catalogue so they aren't necessarily following it as closely as, for example, Scott does. Scott publishes both catalogues and albums so the albums follow the catalogue closely. One advantage of independently produced albums is that you can make decisions about what's best for an album without worrying about adhering rigidly to any catalogue. For example, you might include coil pairs or not, include both strips and singles of stamps when the stamps are all different or not, leave out or include minor varieties, or organize stamps in ways different from the catalogues -- not by catalogue number but by issuing date, for example. And so on. In short, they're a bit freer to make their own album decisions. Which is not to say they're better albums, necessarily.

Hi codehappy and DrewM.

Thank you for the replies and you are correct.

Schaubek did email me back and their pages are created according to Michel catalogs.
