Scott 2009 Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue: United States and Affiliated Territories, United Nations, Countries of the World A-B (Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue Vol 1 Us and Countries A-B)
by Scott Publishing Company/Amos Hobby Publishing Co (Paperback)

More than 58,000 value changes have been recorded in Volume 1. The large number of changes is the result of both strong overseas markets and worldwide currency fluctuations that have seen the U.S. dollar drop against other strong currencies. Almost 4,700 value changes were made in the United States, U.S. possessions and United Nations sections of Volume 1, and almost all the value changes in the U.S. section are upward. Various 19th century stamps rise in value on a selected basis, reflecting market results over the past six months. This includes the St. Louis Bears Postmaster Provisionals, Scott 11X1-11X8, which advanced in the 2008 Scott United States Specialized Catalogue and now advance once again in the 2009 Volume 1. Strong gains were also made for some back of the book items such as the 1879 1¢ - 50¢ Postage Due Special Printings, along with scattered increases in the Officials. More than 23,000 value changes were made for stamps of the British Commonwealth, with ...

Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue 2009: Countries of the World Solomon Islands-z (Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue Vol 6 So-Z)
by Scott Publishing Company/Amos Hobby Publishing Co (Paperback)

The 36,172 changes made in the 2009 edition of Volume 6, which includes countries of the world So-Z, brings the total this year to 274,129. "The exchange rate continues to be the catalyst for many of these changes. The market for stamps denominated in euros, British pounds, Canadian dollars and other various foreign currencies are largely made in the home countries, and anyone who wants to compete for those stamps must compete with those home-country buyers who are using their own strong currencies. This means that it will take more U.S. dollars to buy those stamps, and it will take more U.S. dollars for U.S. dealers to replenish their stocks," according to Scott Catalogue editor, James Kloetzel. Yugoslavia sees the most changes in this volume, with 3,201 value changes made. New values begin to appear with the general issues of 1921. The 1923 1d-30d King Alexander set of five, Scott 22-26, shows a big jump to $101.03 unused from $68.65 unused in the 2008 Volume 6. An even larger ...
