The Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue (1840-1940 World) is one of our essential volumes of the Scott Standard Catalogue of Postage Stamps. It benefits from annual updates and looks at the first century of philately, around the world.
Scott Catalogues, in publication since 1868, are updated annually by our expert team of philatelists. Our team scours the globe hunting down all new issues and obtaining stamps from prior periods, across all the countries of the world where stamps are issued.
We then catalog each stamp, (scanning a high-resolution image of it using state-of-the-art scanning technology), assign in at Scott Number and then our valuing analysts research its value. The resulting value is included alongside the listing.
