Scott Classic

Next Scott Classic post

A second thread of this blog is the filling of a pair of Scott Classic Albums. As noted in the intro post, I spend most, but not all of my stamp time on first issues. Some of the other pursuits are:

• all affordable stamps 1840-1940
• the French Marianne stamps
• GB definitives
• GB Victorias with my initials
• various thematics

I have been collecting classics for about a decade in an old and tatty one-volume Scott and for Christmas had a nearly virginal two volume set.

I need to build slip cases for them, then gradually transfer my current stocks and develop a strategy for filling them. The strategy I have in mind is twofold:

1. Random additions from the occasional Bexley PhilSoc world boxes, and
2. Concentrate on one country at a time, probably starting with GB, then Egypt.

At some point I will list all the countries in the albums as that will be useful online - some of the smaller entries are tucked into strange places in my 1-vol edition.

A couple of useful links:

• Big Blue - the definitive Scott Classic blog.
• Dead Countries
