Scott Catalog News by Charles Snee

Another month has passed, and that means it’s time to reveal another batch of new Scott catalog numbers.

The editors of the Scott catalogs each month assign catalog numbers to new issues from the United States, United Nations and postal services from around the world. “ ”

The new Scott numbers detailed here are for recently issued U.S. and U.N. 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.

Included in this month’s listings are Scott numbers for the five Enjoy the Great Outdoors commemorative forever stamps issued June 13, and the four Hip Hop commemorative forever stamps issued July 1. Both sets of stamps were issued in panes of 20. Also Scott official are the nondenominated (55¢) Flag and Stars stamped envelope and the federal duck stamps picturing black-bellied whistling ducks.

What do these Scott numbers signify? In short, each stamp’s listing in an upcoming edition of the 2021 Scott catalogs.

Having these numbers handy will allow you to easily locate these stamps in the Scott catalogs and learn about their production and values.
