I'm feeling the need to get an updated copy of the Durland Plate Number Catalog. My copy is a 1981 edition that I mainly use as a reference tool for confirming varieties like wet vs dry printing, etc.
I'm starting to pay more attention to the value differences amount different plate numbers as I'm both a collector and a seller, and would like to get a new Durland. I'm noting that the most recent Durland is the 2020 edition. However, it seems that it is updated on 4 year cycles, so I'm considering holding off until the 2024 is released--assuming it's staying on the same 4-year cycle.
Does anyone have an insider or other information on the next edition of Durland? If it's not going to be released for several months, I'll pick up the 2020, but if it's due fairly soon, I'll hold off and buy the newest one.
Thanks for the suggestion. USSS told me that the next version of Durland's has been pushed back to 2026 to coincide with the 2026 International Stamp Show in Boston. They are reprinting the 2020 and copies will soon be available.
