Scott catalog
Philatelic pricing guide
The Scott catalog is the standard reference for stamp collectors in the United States, assigning identification numbers to postage stamps from around the world.
A stamp's Scott number serves as a universal identifier: I'm looking for Scott number 461.
Published annually since 1868, it provides pricing and detailed descriptions.
Other countries favor different catalogs—Stanley Gibbons in Britain, Michel in Germany—but Scott numbers dominate American philately.
