How To Locate Postage Stamps
How much are the stamps you own worth? Where can you find that rare “Inverted Jenny?” Is anyone else looking for stamps in your collection? When is the next stamp auction? Beginners and advanced hobbyists can find a wealth of information on postage stamps online, whether through a catalog, society, authentication center or buying and selling site.
The first stop for serious stamp collectors who are looking to buy or sell should be a catalogue. The most popular reference guide is the Scott’s Catalogue, but Stanley Gibbons, Minkus and the US Postal Service Catalogue of Stamps also make great resources. You can check out ScottOnline.com for the internet version of the Scott’s Catalogue. The internet version is available ten days prior to the print version and is emailed directly to you.
Searching options go back three issues of Scott Stamp Monthly to help you to find what you’re looking for and you’ll be able to connect with advertisers immediately, instead of having to phone or mail them with your inquiries. Subscribers can also customize their online edition by picking which columns they’d like listed first in their issues and by choosing “Text” or “Newspaper” format for easy reading. Separate Print and online magazine subscriptions are available.
The second stop on your way to entrenching yourself in the philatelic community and obtaining information is to check out The American Philatelic Society at Stamps.org. Here you can browse over 270,613 items and search by country, type, keywords, Scott Catalogue number, country and its type, country and keyword, its type and keyword, or Stamp ID number.
