Stamp catalogs are an important part of any collector's collection. From stamp identification to pricing to collecting information, todays stamp catalogs are more than just a list of numbers, they are an essential reference guide. Whether you are just starting out in the hobby or are a long term collector, finding the right catalog to suite your needs can be a bit of a trial and error process. However, with a little bit of shopping know how, you can find your perfect fit. Looking for a way to identify a particular stamp issue? You may want to buy a US/BNA or a Scott Catalogue. Want strictly a stamp price guide? Then the Brookman or the Blackbook catalogs may be what you need. Whether you collect first day covers, Canadian issues, Errors, or Proofs, there is a stamp catalog out there to suit your needs. Have a favorite catalog not reviewed by your guide? Leave a comment!
