  • This video is about European postage stamps review and catalogue values. Philately is the knowledge of postage stamps. Many stamp collectors have difficulty in stamps identification. While identification by country may initially satisfy you, many collectors will want to know when their stamp was issued and how much it is worth. Catalogs exist to help in this way. In the United States the Scott Postage Stamp Catalogue is the standard used by most collectors. In six volumes it lists nearly all the postage stamps issued by every country of the world. It is expensive to purchase a complete set but the catalogs may be borrowed from many public libraries. Sometimes the most recent edition is in reference, but normally older editions may be checked out. Most catalogs are arranged by country and within country by type of stamp (such as regular, airmail or postage due) and date of issue. At first it can be challenging to find a specific stamp among the hundreds or thousands of listings for a country. However, in time looking at the denomination of the stamp and how it is printed (one or multiple colors) will give you good clues as to the approximate time the stamp was issued. In my video I have described some select quality examples of most sought after and most expensive European postage stamps.
