Here is the checklist.
If printed out, keep in mind the list is 223 one sided pages with one column. I've seen two column formats that work quite well. A three column format does squeeze the notes, but is do-able.
The checklist of course is also included with each countries blog. Remember, caveats and cautions about the checklist are often more fully discussed in the specific country blog.
Now a reminder about the format and uses of the checklist.....
Note: You will need to consult a Scott catalogue for specific pricing. I only give a very "ball park" price, and never the actual catalogue value.
<$1= less than a Dollar
$1+= more than a Dollar
$2+= more than two Dollars
$5+= more than five Dollars
$10+= more than ten Dollars
$20+..and so on.
$1+= more than a Dollar
$2+= more than two Dollars
$5+= more than five Dollars
$10+= more than ten Dollars
$20+..and so on.
Note: Some Scott numbers appear out of sequence. That is because I usually follow the layout of the page.
Note: Blank spaces are sometimes limited by which stamp will fit.
Note: Due to the vagaries of copy/paste, the <$1 valuation appears as < on this list: remember here that means less than $1 valuation. ;-)

*Note: 6e is inverted frame type.
Note: 1896-1901 Scott 16-20 "Type of 1873" has Perf 13. They also have somewhat different color combination, may have inverted frames, and sometimes are less expensive ( Scott 16 1c($10+), 17 3c($10+), 18 4c ($10+), ). BB excludes them by Date.

Comment: If you wish to include these stamps in BB's spaces, change the inclusion dates in BB to 1870-1901, or 1870-1904. Because of cost, may be a good idea!

*Note 35: space is illustrated in BB with small numerals in corners which would argue for 35, a $100 stamp. But the date range is 1882-85; so 38, a larger corner numeral variety, and a $2+ stamp, is allowed.
Note: 1882 Scott 35,37 are small numerals in corners; while 1884-88 Scott 38-40 are large numerals.
Note: Again BB leaves out re-issues. Specifically...

1914-26 Ceres
Update note: The 1914-26 "Ceres" issue presented here is based on the 2011 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue. But the 2014 catalogue revises the listings into 1914 "chalky paper" Perf 15 X 14; 1915-22 "ordinary paper" 15 X 14; 1921-26 "ordinary paper" 12 X 11 1/2; and 1921-25 'glazed paper" 12 X 11 1/2 major number catagories. It also gives a minor number to the 5c pale blue.
Here are the "old" numbers....
118,119,120,121,122,123,124,125,126,127,128,130-deep blue, 130-bright blue, 131,132,133,134,135,136,137,139,140,141,142,144,146,148,149,151,154(<$1-$1+)
Two blank spaces: suggest 138,155 (<$1)
Note: Scott 1947 catalog broke down the todays Scott 130 5c Blue Ceres into two colors:deep blue and bright blue. To fill the two spaces with todays Scott 130, look for these two shades.

Some major Scott numbers have shades that were issued after 1940, while the pre-1940 shade is now catalogued with a minor number. In other cases, it is difficult/impossible to determine which shade Big Blue is listing. I am ignoring shades for the purpose of the checklist, so there could be Scott numbers listed here with color varieties issued after 1940. For the full discussion, see Big Blue Bottom Line-Antigua.

Some major Scott numbers have shades that were issued after 1940, while the pre-1940 shade is now catalogued with a minor number. In other cases, it is difficult/impossible to determine which shade Big Blue is listing. I am ignoring shades for the purpose of the checklist, so there could be Scott numbers listed here with color varieties issued after 1940. For the full discussion, see Big Blue Bottom Line-Antigua.

Update note: The 1912-1932 "Ceres" issue originally presented here was based on the 2011 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue. But the 2014 catalogue revises the listings into 1912-19 "chalky paper" Perf 15 X 14; 1917-21 "ordinary paper" 15 X 14; 1918-26 "ordinary paper" 12 X 11 1/2; 1924-30 "glazed paper" 12 X 11 1/2 , and 1930-31 Perf 12 X 11 1/2 "With Imprint at Foot" major number catagories. I will present here both the old numbers (for those with an old (~2011) catalogue), and the new present numbers (~2014).

Note: BB lists date 1879-1894 which fits exactly the type I issue; but type II (1894-98) begins in 1894 and is generally less expensive, so is included here. Also type III ('98) is included.
Note: Minor numbers are type II, except 6b (type III).

1914-26 Ceres Update Note
The 1914-26 "Ceres" issue presented initially was based on the 2011 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue. But the 2014 catalogue revises the listings into 1914 "chalky paper" Perf 15 X 14; 1916 "ordinary paper" 15 X 14; 1920-26 "ordinary paper" 12 X 11 1/2; and 1922-26 "glazed paper" 12 X 11 1/2 major number categories.
For those with older catalogues (~2011), I will first present the "old" numbers. I will then present the current (~2014) numbers.
Old numbers....

Note: I'm giving the choices for the '26 Ceres issues as that is clearly the intent of BB. But Scott now lumps all the A6 designed Ceres together under the "1914-26" dates. So if one wants to insert ANY A6 Ceres choice, then (alternative suggested) 165(<$1) and 168($2+) could be put here.

1914-26 Ceres Update Note
The 1914-26 "Ceres" issue presented initially was based on the 2011 Scott Classic Specialized 1840-1940 catalogue. But the 2014 catalogue revises the listings into 1914 "chalky paper" Perf 15 X 14; 1916 "ordinary paper" 15 X 14; 1920-26 "ordinary paper" 12 X 11 1/2; and 1922-26 "glazed paper" 12 X 11 1/2 major number categories.
For those with older catalogues (~2011), I will first present the "old" numbers. I will then present the current (~2014) numbers.
Old numbers....

Note: I'm giving the choices for the '26 Ceres issues as that is clearly the intent of BB. But Scott now lumps all the A6 designed Ceres together under the "1914-26" dates. So if one wants to insert ANY A6 Ceres choice, then (alternative suggested) 165(<$1) and 168($2+) could be put here.

(1938-40) Regional surcharges on Dr Sun Yat-sen 5c Green*
Six blank spaces: These regional surcharges consist of a 4c surcharge for Hong Kong, and 3c surcharge for Shanghai, Hunan, Kansu, Kiangsi, Eastern Szechwan, and Chekiang. The surcharge colors are carmine, black or red. Some surcharged stamps have watermarks. *Big Blue specifies the 5c "green", but that is a mistake (in my opinion), and the 5c "olive green" should also be collected. The regional surcharges appear on the 5c "green" and 'olive green" Scott 440,441,442,443,444,445,446,447,448. So mix and match, and obtain a nice selection for the six spaces. See Scott for details.

(1938-40) Regional surcharges on Dr Sun Yat-sen 5c Green*
Six blank spaces: These regional surcharges consist of a 4c surcharge for Hong Kong, and 3c surcharge for Shanghai, Hunan, Kansu, Kiangsi, Eastern Szechwan, and Chekiang. The surcharge colors are carmine, black or red. Some surcharged stamps have watermarks. *Big Blue specifies the 5c "green", but that is a mistake (in my opinion), and the 5c "olive green" should also be collected. The regional surcharges appear on the 5c "green" and 'olive green" Scott 440,441,442,443,444,445,446,447,448. So mix and match, and obtain a nice selection for the six spaces. See Scott for details.

Note: The 1895-01 issue stamps almost all exist as minor number inverted frame varieties for about the same price. The 1902-04 inverted frame varieties catalogue for a much higher valuation.
Comment: If you wish to include these stamps in BB's spaces, change the inclusion dates in BB to 1870-1901, or 1870-1904. Because of cost, may be a good idea!
1882-85 "Arms" wmk 112 (rounder crown) Perf 14 X 13 1/2
35*($100+) or 38($2+) 5o green
39 10o carmine ($2+)
37($70+) or 40 ($5+) 20o blue
*Note 35: space is illustrated in BB with small numerals in corners which would argue for 35, a $100 stamp. But the date range is 1882-85; so 38, a larger corner numeral variety, and a $2+ stamp, is allowed.
Note: 1882 Scott 35,37 are small numerals in corners; while 1884-88 Scott 38-40 are large numerals.
Note: Again BB leaves out re-issues. Specifically...

Comment: If you wish to include these inexpensive choices, change the inclusive dates in Big Blue to 1882-1901, or 1882-1904. Be aware that the 10o rose carmine for these later issues does not match BB's "carmine" specification

End of Checklist Part IA1
Infinite Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeleteI some years ago (5?) acquired a BB 1947 edition on Ebay that is in pretty good condition and has a good number of stamps in it already. I have not yet come round to continue with the collection, but am about to get into it. And one of the major challenges I am immediately discovering is what catalogue numbers there are in BB... :-) So your list is a god send!!
I'll be following your blog as well as Bob's Filling Spaces.
Again many thanks for your dedication and efforts!
Tommy in
Zurich, Switzerland
Thanks Tommy for the kind words.
ReplyDeleteThe '47 has some differences with the '69, but any deletions/additions to the checklist are noted for Aden-Ethiopia in the "Kinds of Blue" section for each country post.
BTW, I've been to Zurich, beautiful city!
Yeah, Zurich is usually quite nice, especially in summer with the lake and all. Only this year we have had really miserable summer up until now...
ReplyDeleteCheers!!
