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.

The U.S. Specialized catalog has traditionally been released annually in October of each year. That tradition continues, in the printed edition. But we're excited to announce the Digital Subscription updates monthly! More details below, but first let us tell you all about how the Print and Digital catalogs compare...
We've made The Scott Catalogue available in both Print and Digital formats for your convenience. Learn a little about each:
Print Editions. We continue the proud tradition of publishing our printed, full-size, full-color catalogs on premium stock for your enjoyment. No internet connection required.
Each year, we publish a brand new printed edition consisting of updates from the prior year.
Digital Subscriptions. We offer a Digital Subscription of each essential volume of The Scott Catalogue, including Volume 6. With the Digital Subscription is packed with features simply not possible in print, like search and zoom. Better yet, they offer unprecedented efficiency thanks to a powerful features that lets you search topics across multiple sections. Works on almost any device with an internet browser. All you need is an internet connection.
With the Digital Subscription, you'll automatically receive the updated edition each year in October.
We pulled out all the stops for our most popular volume. The US Specialized digital subscription benefits from MONTHLY updates of the newest stamp issues.
PLUS stamp values are updated not once per year, but TWICE! In April and October, values are updated across the board. This is our way of making this volume truly special.
Just like the updates you’ve come to expect with our annual print editions, you can look forward to the same in your digital subscription. Unlike the Printed edition, which is released only once per year in October, the digital edition makes it possible for us to also update the values in April.
And that's not all. In addition to monthly new issues and two across-the-board value updates per year, the US Specialized automatically updates with the many editorial enhancements as well (just like the Printed edition).
If you consider the two carefully, you'll see that not only does the digital edition have everything the print does, but it has features that simply aren't possible in print (search, zoom, etc) AND gets updated much more frequently too!
