The latest edition of this catalogue is expected to be available in the next 10 days.
New this year:
- Fully rewritten and professionally translated French-Language Introduction: For the first time in 25 years, the Catalogue features a bilingual introduction. This new section appears at the front of each volume, allowing each to function as a self-contained reference and significantly improving accessibility for francophone collectors.
- Reorganized Postal History section: The Postal History section has been moved to the beginning of the Catalogue and reorganized into proper chronological order. A fully revamped Stampless Postal History section, complete with updated pricing, is included in the CLASSICS volume.
- New Canadian Precancel and Perfin Precancel section: A major addition to Volume 1 is a new 30-page Canadian Precancel and Perfin Precancel section, complete with pricing. This material is provided courtesy of specialists David Marasco and Kyle Taylor.
