For the Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940, any version published in the last 20 years will be color. I'd be shooting for something five to eight years old.

YUp.....I'm not looking for anything newer than 2012....

OK.....I just noticed that my email contact info is not correct, I went into the edit profile section and it wont let me change it. If anyone wants to contact me, maybe post reply back here?????? Maybe they will let me email you.....

Try bookfinder.com. I've bought a couple of copies of the Scott Classic 1840 - 1940 at very reasonable cost. The latest one was 2020's issue. They have both been ex-library but very very clean. They were what I thought were absolute bargains at about 20% of the published price

There's a lot of choice if you're in the US, but postage to me here in the UK can be as much or more than the cost of the catalogue from some sellers. The ones I bought were on the standard postage rate of about $3.

I used to be a bit puzzled why people updated their catalogues but this 2020 issue is about 30% fatter than my previous 2005 copy - well worth upgrading for all that extra information. But even if you got the 2005 copy it's a fantastic resource - my go to catalogue for the last ten years

Rick... Send me a message. I have 2011 and 2020 editions for sale. cheap!

The Classic Specialized is the one catalogue of all their offerings that IMO is worth upgrading every few years or so, as there are actual efforts to expand coverage (listing and valuation of NH vs H, multiples, on-cover vs. off, additional varieties, etc.) vs. merely updating values as in the case of the regular volumes or even the U.S. Specialized. It's the ONE catalogue that Amos Media actually does a stellar job on... even discussions here at CHICAGOPEX this year, with dealers and other collectors, the consensus generally is that it's the best single-volume worldwide catalogue available from any publisher anywhere.

I always hear complaints about the pricing and format of Scott catalogues; the tenor and tone is always "meh" or begrudging tolerance at best, but bring up the Classic Specialized and the script is universally flipped. People love it... even with it being US$50 more expensive than the other volumes. There's more perceived value.

In fact, even though I have access to all of the digital products, I'm buying a new 2024 print edition of the Classic to take home with me.

No question.

Yvert's Classique is a nice supplement, but it's only issued every five years, and I didn't notice much additional editorial content from 2015 to 2020.

Gibbons Commonwealth is an essential supplement that feels like the best single-volume worldwide catalogue for me, but that's because my world pretty much starts and stops with the Commonwealth. I think you can go a few more years between updates, too. Classic every two years, Commonwealth every three to five years.

My 2d. Your mileage may vary.

On ebay now is a 1998 at $6.99 with free shipping.

2007 at $22.99 with free shipping.

There are other buy it nows but at higher prices.

There are two auctions running still at reasonable prices.

As to auction history, a 2009 sold for $10.92 including shipping and a 2003 run up to $11.92 including shipping. A 2019 hit $21.00 with shipping. At $27.10 including shipping a 2018 was had.

So just monitor ebay for the buy it now offers and place your price in the auctions and one should come your way.

P.S. Send a note to staff about your incorrect email, they should be able to correct the issue.
