Catalogs, How Reliable Are Them?

Reading a post where the person is trying to find a 181 or 204 at all price I went though my little tiny catalog and what my surprise was???hehehe find the bug

What are you doing?


Peter

Read!!! 90c Taylor deep blue $240000 dollars?????do you know very many #204 90cts????

this is not that old

I understand that 179,181 is not 2cts &204 is not 90cts



2nd bug 181 2 cts

I'm not sure what you're trying to address. What's your point? Scott italicizes prices for stamps that are unique or extraordinary in some way. Scott also does the same thing as every other catalog publisher: prices are based on some combination of estimate (realistic or not), market conditions, and (in the case of SG) at what price their retail arm might be expected to sell that item. Scott, Michel, Y&T, SG, Maury, Sakura, they all do it. So what?

Just because we likely won't ever buy one of them (let alone see one, perhaps) doesn't mean that there aren't others who will, and they deserve to see a guide price, too.

No bug here. It used to be 275,000 in the the 2016 catalogue, so now is your time to buy. Bye

The point is that they announce 2cts Taylor "181 450000 $ and a 204 Taylor 90 cts 240000$, do you know a Taylor 2cts and a Taylor 90 cts??? I will like to see them,for a company like Amos that mistake is very serious,don't you think??

Casey,my point is not the price here,my point ,if you take the time to look ,is that they misidentified the stamp,read!!! as I tall you,you never see a 2 cents Taylor # 181,there still 5 cts Taylor,like the 204 there still 5 cts,not 90 cts

Naufrago, maybe you need to read. The numbers and the prices are correct,


Peter

Peter look where it said 204 is the firs line ,204,90 cts
and 181 2cts
don't tell me how to read,pleas,i maybe french but we know how to read just a little be

Yes, yes, not very smart of the person/people who worked on this. There would be no reason to change the basic part of the listing each edition normally, just change the pricing, if that. But it shows that there are no real copy editors anymore; self-editing is the recipe for stupidity like this. We probably should be happy that there aren't a lot more mistakes like this in any Scott catalog.

Hy-Brasil,thank you,i was thinking to buy myself a optical business,but I see that I don't need it,everything started because there is someone that wants to have at all price one of those,not degrading anybody he is new like me also looking for opportunity's,but I think is nothing wrong with it we all do,
mes amities
naufrago

If you are about to spend that type of money on a stamp I doubt very much that the wrong denomination in the catalog would trip you up. Unless you are buying those stamps on ebay without a certificate.

Hi Rogdcam,do you think that I have the budget for that?this are not my wishes,if has to come it will come,but was just a comment as I went to the catalog,and I se that the description of the patint was wrong,nothing out
