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?.

Gibbons actually list the worldwide dealers whose lists they use to make up
their farcical prices.

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'?

Gibbons deals in stamps; Scott doesn't.

For information about how Scott determines pricing, go to
