Scott Catalog Help please

While working some Tonga stamps I ran into a problem. I have a 1"1d
1962 round airmail stamp. My 2003 Scott catalog mentions this
denomination in the heading of the first Airmail issue, 1963, July 15
but does not give it a number nor is there any missing numbers in the
listing.
Anyone have a clue? For my own benefit I can list it as C2.5, or C2*.
As far as I know the nasty dictators at Scott aren't going to admit
they made a mistake, therefore no change is coming.

"nasty dictators at Scott"? Tell us more.

Your stamp is C3. There is no 1/6 value.

Based on some old catalogs I have, it appears that the
error was introduced sometime between 1983 and 1995.

Scott.Publishing but my strong feelings against bullies is pretty well
ste in stone.

Well, they most certainly have made a LOT of mistakes in the 2002
catalogs. Leaving pieces out, shifting pieces around, watermarks, you
name it.

Working on Southern Rhodesia right now and the "Victoria Falls" stamp
sticks out as a problem. The first issue is printed without "Postage
& Revenue" and the 2nd issue is supposed to have it. Well, both
pictures look the same. Laziness, didn't have a copy of the 2nd
issue, or an error, plain and simple.

Now, if this was the only error in the entire catalog, I could live
with it. Maybe even 1, 2, 3 per volume. But it sure seems when the
moved over to newer pictures / overprints / watermarks / etc. they
made some serious faux pas and may have rushed things to print without
editing the content a little.

.... or a lot.

I'll be getting some newer catalogs in the near future - maybe 2004's,
because of my work with a stamp dealer. I sure hope these are up to
snuff.

Ralph, put the bullies on the side and look at the errors! Then come
back to the bully part and say "What nerve they have limiting the
amount of mis-information we can pass out!" :^P

Nuff Said...

snip, serious snip....

The OLD one suffering from a bad case of CRS put his mouth in gear
before enggaging brain.
Looking in my album proved the "booklet panes" I refered to are not
booklet panes at all, just strips of twelve from a sheet of stamps.
It is a mystery why the seller offered thirteen single stamps and
identical thirteen strips of twelve for sale. Only a part of the series
and not in sequence either.
Ignorance and low price convinced me to buy these.
