Museum of African American History and Culture, hockey stamps get Scott numbers

By Colin Sallee

Another batch of new Scott numbers is in.

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

The new Scott numbers detailed here are for U.S. 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.

Compared to other months, this batch is modest. But the National Museum of African American History and Culture headline the pack.
