Scott v Gibbons
I would imagine that Stanley Gibbons call on their retail and auction
business plus many other sources to produce the price values in their catalogues. Is anyone aware how Scott obtains information to produce their own catalogues?. |

I dare say Scott do the same. I've never seen a Scott catalogue so I wonder: are their prices are as wide of the mark as Gibbons'? |

For information about how Scott determines pricing, go to http://www.scottonline.com/NewsandNotes/NN_howto.asp and scroll down to "Catalogue values." Bill |

The Stoneham catalogue, recently republished, purports to show market prices and lists the dealers that have contributed info and knowledge. Stoneham retails at £16 compared with £24 for SG's Concise, and has actual new scans of all the stamps, including all the Machins so that colours can be seen. The numbering is different, of course, and the organisation of the catalogue takes some getting used to, but it is a good cat. One dealer I know has sold 3 boxes at fairs, that's about 60 copies. -- Ian Billings Norvic Philatelics APS#207617 ATA#54619 P O Box 119, Dereham, NR20 3YN, United Kingdom Website: http://www.norvic-philatelics.co.uk Online sto http://www.norphil.co.uk/catalog |

Until they pooched the pup and 'renumbered', I'd indexed my inventory by their numbers as they had separate numbers for plates and major differences. The latest version is published by the Machin Collectors Club in Norfolk, England, and they have just announced the 'Simplified' pocket-size at only £5.95, on sale from October 15 - see http://www.machins.org/ |
