One-Time Special Checklist Update Added

Because of a change in the policy regarding adding stamps to the Maps on Stamps Checklist, a one-time Special Checklist Update has been prepared by Checklist Editor David Wolfersberger. The Special Checklist Update contains stamps that have not yet been issued Scott Catalogue Numbers. Previously stamps were not added to the Maps on Stamps Checklist until a Scott number was issued. Beginning immediately map stamps will be added to the Checklist as soon as they can be viewed to determine the Grade and Coverage. Catalogue Numbers will be added as they become available. Also, any stamp that has not been issued a catalogue number by Scott, Michel or Stanley Gibbons two years or more after issue date will be placed on the Cinderella list.  The Special Checklist Update is available as Microsoft Excel file ready for download from the “Checklist Updates” section on our MoS Checklist page.

Third 2016 MoS Checklist Update Ready

Checklist Editor David Wolfersberger has finalized the June-August 2016 update of the MoS Checklist. This update, along with previous updates, are available as Microsoft Excel files to download from “Checklist Updates” section on our MoS Checklist page.
