Notes:
Catalog #933, Roosevelt and Globe, was issued on January 30, 1946 and, therefore, will be included in the Stamp Values Table for 1946-1947 U.S. Issues.

All pricing information is referenced from the current retail values listed in the 2007 Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers, by Scott Publishing, Inc. Co. and the 2007 US/BNA Postage Stamp Catalog, by H.E. Harris & Co./ Whitman Publishing, LLC.

If you are a beginning collector and would like to purchase your own U.S. price guide, I recommend the 2007 US/BNA Postage Stamp Catalog. For those looking for more advanced information, I recommend the 2007 Scott Specialized Catalogue of United States Stamps and Covers. Other well known U.S. catalogs include: the Official 2007 Blackbook Price Guide to United States Postage Stamps and the Brookman Price Guide 2007. Both the Brookman Price Guide and the Blackbook Price Guide are relatively inexpensive, efficiently organized, guides to United States postage stamps.
