In short, they are very similar, except for two important differences:
Keep reading to learn how the catalogs are created, how they differ and why.
For more than 150 years, the Scott Catalogue has been updated annually with a new print edition that includes new and revised stamp listings and images from the prior year. And that proud tradition continues today and will continue well into the future in BOTH print and digital formats.
To achieve these updates, our experts work tirelessly year-round to obtain stamps from all corners of the globe and then catalog them. Then, once a year, we publish a new annual edition of each volume of the Scott Catalogue. This new annual edition contains those new and updated listings.
Now, with your Scott digital catalog subscription, you get the same updates as soon as the new catalog is published each year. You won’t have to remember to order a new one, wait for shipping, deal with inventory shortages or rising paper prices or jump through any other hoops. Subscribing to the digital catalog ensures you’ll always have the latest values.
That’s just a sampling of why we’re so excited about the digital catalog. But there’s even more…
In addition to always ensuring you have the latest values, your digital catalog subscription also contains more content than you can get in the print catalog: namely, more images.
At Amos Media, we’ve been publishing the Scott Catalogue since 1984. Over the course of almost four decades, we’ve accumulated hundreds of thousands of high-resolution stamp images in color. But we’ve been unable to show you most of them, because to print them all would result in an excessively large, heavy and expensive print catalog.
Until now.
Once again, the Scott digital subscription offers an exciting new opportunity that wasn’t possible in print, and we’ve taken full advantage of it. We’ve begun actively working to include more images in the digital subscription every year going forward.
In fact, when we launch the 2023 Scott Catalogue Volume 1 in April of 2022, we’ll also update the digital subscription to match all of its latest values.
We’re proud to announce that beginning each month in 2022, each digital subscription catalog contains MORE images than we could fit into the print edition. Here's how many more images you get in each of the Digital Subscriptions as compared to their Printed counterparts:
And this is just the start. Our teams are hard at work including more and more images for every volume of the Scott digital catalog subscription every year going forward.
* Additional images listed will be available at the beginning of the month when each catalogue is updated. For more about this schedule, see below.
Your subscription will receive all the same updates you've come to expect from the Printed Edition of the Scott Catalogues after all these years: hundreds of new listings, thousands of value changes, and numerous editorial additions and enhancements.
PLUS the Digital Subscription will continue to be exclusively be updated to provide MORE images that are not available in the print edition.
Last, in the case of the U.S. Specialized volume, we are excited to announce that we plan to make monthly updates to this edition, which also happens to be our best seller (and we think it should be on the radar of any US stamp collector!). Every month, we'll add new stamp issues. And twice a year (in April and October) we'll also be updating values as well. These updates are simply not possible in the printed medium. But they are yours for the taking when you subscribe to the digital US Specialized.
Your subscription will be updated automatically each year when the Printed Edition of the volume you're subscribed to is released. We have followed the same schedule for years and it is published below.

Traditionally we have grouped our listings by country for your convenience and we continue to do so as we introduce innovative new digital solutions to ensure a the smoothest possible transition in your collecting!
Within each catalog is an Index. The Index contains a list of Sections. Learn about how they are structured below.
The index of the Volume 3 (Countries G-I)
The Index of the World Set (Volume 1-6)
An Index is a listing of all Sections available within your subscription.
Once you access your Subscription, the first thing you'll see is an Index. This index will show everything you have access to in your subscription.
If you subscribe to a set, you'll see an Index that lists all the individual volumes (i.e. Volume 1, Volume 2, etc). Each of these volumes has their own index, which you can see when you click on them at the top of your World Set Index. You can even search within each Volume OR across all of them! See below under: How Search Works.
A Section is a grouping within each catalog.
Sections can be country specific (i.e. United States, Ukraine, etc) or they can be a collection of information not specific to a single countries (i.e. Introduction, Illustrated identifier, or a sub-section of the US within the US Specialized volume).
Clicking or tapping on the section will open that section in a new browser tab. For more about browser tabs, see below under: Browse different countries in different browser tabs.
First of all, search within the Scott Digital Catalogue Subscription is fast. Faster than the previous standalone catalogs that were discontinued in early 2022.
Second, and unlike previous versions of the Scott digital catalog, the search found within the Scott Digital Catalogue Subscription has been thoughtfully conceived to allow you to search the FULL text content of the catalog. This can be very powerful but also provide more information than you may want to see at once. Which is why we've also taken care to create multiple useful ways of searching narrowly as well as broadly. Here are some examples, with steps further below:
Third, search results appear as you type. Searching for "European"? Well, you can see the number of results update instantly with each keystroke as you type the word in.
The Search screen within Volume 3, on desktop.
This applies to ALL digital catalog subscriptions.
Each Volume includes multiple sections. For most catalogs, each section is a country. In the case of the US specialized, the United States is broken into sections. Also included with each catalog are additional non-country specific sections like the Introduction, Illustrated identifier and more. These steps will show you how you can search across all of them -- at once!
Steps:

The search screen within the Germany Section of Volume 3, on mobile.
This applies to ALL digital catalog subscriptions.
Each Volume contains many countries, but sometimes you don't want to search across all of them. Maybe you subscribe to Volume 3 and are only interested in searching Germany. With the digital subscription, it's possible! Here's how.
Steps:

The World Set Index where you can search the entire world at once.
This is only possible for subscribers to products that contain stamps from the entire world. As of now, there are only two products in which this is possible: Classic Specialized (1840-1940 World) and the World Set (Volume 1-6).
If you've subscribed to one of these powerful volumes, you'll be able to search across the ENTIRE world all at once. And don't worry -- we've made it so that you can also search within individual countries as well (see above for steps).
Steps:
. Click or tap that icon to reveal the search menu.Browser tabs have become a ubiquitous way for us to organize our web browsing and the Scott Digital Catalogue Subscription takes full advantage of them.
With the Scott Digital Catalogue Subscription, each country (or section) can be opened in a new tab! This allows you to quickly flip back and forth between tabs as you research different countries, or different sections within a country. Another timesaver that's not possible in the print edition. Here's how to do it.
