Another batch of new Scott numbers is in.
The editors of the Scott catalogs each month assign catalog numbers to new issues from the U.S. and postal services from around the world.
The new Scott numbers detailed here are for U.S. and United Nations stamps. New Scott numbers for worldwide stamps are given in the Scott New Listings Update in the expanded monthly issue of Linn's Stamp News.

Six United States stamps celebrating prepared dishes from south of the border and the Caribbean were issued April 20 in a double-sided booklet. The booklet is now Scott official, and each of the six stamps has been given its own catalog number.
Joining the Delicioso booklet stamps with its own Scott number is the Smurfs sheet from the United Nations, along with the U.N. International Dance sheet of six.
What do these Scott numbers signify? In short, these stamps’ place in upcoming editions of the Scott catalogs.
Having these numbers handy will allow you to easily locate these stamps in the catalogs and learn about their production and values.
