Any members offer me a current price for the South Korean set beginning #635 please. I'd like to see how much my 2009 catalogue is behind. If I buy a later Scott DVD, do they offer all the bells and whistles still? eg: bookmarks, print pages, searching, replacing text etc? What is current price for say 2012 model, any ideas? Thanks for any input.
The 1906 Romanian set Sc196 >(a good gauge) seems to have risen $40 in 4 years

Thanks for any input. I don't think there are any Scott DVDs since the 2009 edition. As far as I know, there was an experiment done with an iPhone app done through the iTunes store that used digital catalogue files, but whether that's continued or not is something I don't know (I don't own an iAnything so it isn't anything that would do me any good). I would have to assume that they felt badly bitten by piracy on their previous versions of DVD catalogues, and future versions are something they don't want to commit to until there is something that convinces them the data can't be pirated.

I had a suspicion that was the case Ryan. Thanks for responding. So I have a rather important article. Something to look after.

I imagine that the rampant pirating of the 2009 CDROM edition of the Scott catalog had alot to do with their decision not to continue producing the catalog on disk.
If memory serves me, I believe apastuszak contacted the editor about this issue and may be able to provide some additional detail.

I only have Korean stamps left which show Flags....and these are my favourite. I have been trying to procure a decently-priced set but have not been lucky thus far. Maybe in London in November ! There are two types, 22 of each type representing all nations which participated in the Korean War. The green types show the Statue of Liberty between the Korean and other Nations Flag, and the blue types show the UN emblem. A lovely series. Londonbus1

I don't collect Korea, but recently acquired this air mail in a pile of damaged covers. The water damage had caused a lot of stamps to come off the envelopes, like this one, but were, sadly too far gone to re-affix the stamps. But I'd never seen this one before, a C2 issued in 1949. Simply drawn, it reminds me of some of the early Chinese airmail of the plane over the Temple of Heaven. This one's not in the greatest shape, but I think interesting enough for a spot in my 'Just Because' album.

I debated about adding my post to this thread or starting a new one. It seemed like a toss-up, and since Londonbus showed a couple of stamps from the set on which my question is based, here we go: I have an imperforate souvenir sheet from the Korea flags issue, issued for Canada's assistance in the Korean War. Scott mentions these souvenir sheets in a footnote, saying there is a set of 22, and the price for the entire set is $800 hinged, $1300 never hinged, but it does not price them individually. In the glassine with the souvenir sheet was this little paper: I would like to know the value of this item. (Unfortunately, it's the only one in the series that I've got.) I haven't been able to find out much thus far. I have just a 4th edition of the Japan-Korea volume of Gibbons, and there's no reference to it that I could find. I also have a fairly recent Michel volume that includes Korea, but didn't see anything that seemed to address this. But I'll quickly add that my German is rusty, and I usually have to spend some time kind of reloading my Deutsch into my brain before I attempt anything in the Michel beyond some basic identifications. My Googling hasn't yielded much info yet, so I thought I would turn it over to the crack team here at TSF to see what you all might know about this. Can anyone shed any light on this? -- Dave

I first saw them here in Israel at Israel '98' on display and as a newbie Flag collector, I fell in love with them. But my searches proved friutless. With the 'regular' stamp issue going for fairly big bucks, I somehow knew these would be out of reach. But it didn't stop me trying. I remember asking a few topical dealers who are big on the Flag thematic and they had never had them. If I am not mistaken, it is most likely these sheets that gave rise to other sheets issued by Korea [with Flags] to commemorate various events or visiting dignitaries. Korea do have some of the nicest and most interesting Flag items. This regular stamp set is still on my 'want' list and I have been outbid a few times. One day........... Londonbus1

Londonbus: Thanks very much for your legwork (fingerwork?) and your observations! I like that you like them! The ebay listing you linked to took me a little while to figure out. Apparently they only scanned in a couple of representative items, but the asking price is for the full set of stamps plus the full set of s/s. (Too bad: my heart was racing when it looked like they were asking US $1850 for just 2 of the s/s!) For the halibut, here is the relevant section from the 2010 Michel: As for a relative value for an individual s/s, I know there's a Korea somewhat-specialized stamp catalog around, and am wondering if they price the individual sheets. I used to have a copy of that catalog, but it got misplaced in my move a couple of years ago and has yet to surface. Last year, for a different purpose, I tried to find a recent copy to purchase, but kept running into dead-ends. (Some of you may see that I'll end up posting this question elsewhere, in order to try to find some connections to Korea collectors and catalogs.) Nonetheless, any and all comments still welcome and appreciated! And with gratitude for Londonbus' assistance already. -- Dave

For the sake of completeness, here's a pic of the most recent edition of the Korean Postage Stamp Catalog (KPC) that I could find. The vendor in Korea did not return my emails last year when I first inquired about it (despite the fact that they have English ordering capability on their website.)

My KPC catalogue is a bit old, a 2001 copy, but it doesn't show any info for the souvenir sheets beyond the fact that there are 22 sheets with a quantity of 2000 copies of each sheet. They don't even price the full set, the column is left blank. They are considered to be "proof & presentation sheets" rather than souvenir sheets, judging by the small graphic symbol given in the catalogue. There are a couple of lines of Hangul text below the set which don't appear to have an English translation, so I don't know what that might be about.

Hey, thanks for checking this, Ryan. I was hoping you might see this question, and was also hoping that you had a catalog.
Based on what I've been able to dig up thus far, it does look like the print quantities were 2000 per sheet, without regard to country, unlike the stamps, where the print quantities varied.
I don't know if it's possible, but if you have a chance to do a scan or even take a cellphone shot of the relevant page and could shoot it to me, I'd really appreciate it. (My email address is in my profile.) No worries if that's practical.
Thanks again!

Does anyone who knows South Korean stamps fairly well know if the Korea Postage Stamp Catalog (KPC) lists more varieties than does Michel for South Korea, particularly from post-Korean War to, say, the 1970's?
(I would not be surprised to learn that the KPC lists more early (classic era) varieties, and possibly more for stamps issued during the Korean War.)
The reason for the question, is that I have Michel, SG & Scott, but don't have the Korean catalog, and am combing through a collection for varieties.
Thanks in advance for any and all help!

I collect North Korea, just with Scott, I like to use 1 catalogue only, but will be interested how you find Michel versus Scott in this regard. Steiner has made it even less inviting to change catalogues, his blending with Scott is a good team.

(I would not be surprised to learn that the KPC lists more early (classic era) varieties, and possibly more for stamps issued during the Korean War.) As I said earlier, my copy of the KPC catalogue is getting a little bit old - 2001. But it doesn't have many varieties at all, nothing along the lines of plate varieties or anything like that. It shows some info missing from the Michel catalogue, issue quantities and FDC prices and so on, and for definitives it also prices inscription blocks. Michel, on the other hand, prices a number of "Blocks" (souvenir sheets) for old definitives which are missing (or labelled differently?) in KPC. There is a bit more info in KPC on the oldest stamps, 1904 and earlier, and the earliest (1948-1955) definitives show a number of part-perforate varieties listed only in KPC. There's the occasional rare "printed on gum" variety shown on KPC. Of course, pricing isn't necessarily consistent from one catalogue to the next. For example, looking at the 1970 famous paintings souvenir sheets, the KPC catalogue gives a 40% increase in value for the perforated sheets, whereas my 2008 Michel catalogue gives a 140% increase, quite the difference. KPC shows some designer names (in Hangul, doesn't do me a bit of good!). In general, I don't see a whole lot of info that is only in KPC that would be of interest to me other than issue quantities.

Ryan: Thank you for this excellent analysis! Exactly what I was looking for! I posted this question on 5 different boards, and yours is the first response that's what I was hoping for. I really appreciate it.
It makes me feel a little more comfortable using Michel for a first sweep (after Scott). Then, if I see something that looks "different", I'll just set it aside for now, until I stumble on one of those catalogs.
And I don't think the age of the catalog would matter much for detecting varieties. I imagine most everything except for the most recent issues has been identified by now. (I know there could be exceptions.)
Thanks very much! If I wore a hat, it would be off to you!

And I don't think the age of the catalog would matter much for detecting varieties. I imagine most everything except for the most recent issues has been identified by now. (I know there could be exceptions.) Exceptions would mostly be due to changes in editorial focus, I would think. The Unitrade catalogue for Canadian stamps is a good example of that - after Robin Harris took over as editor, increased amounts of info and more detailed listings rapidly became the norm. A 2001 Unitrade catalogue is a poor shadow of one from 2014, and it's possible that the KPC catalogue might have undergone a similar improvement. Then again, it's possible that Korean collectors don't really care much for plate varieties, which is one of my favourite aspects of collecting. German collectors seem to love such stuff and I'm real happy with the level of detail I've been able to find in their specialized catalogues. Americans, on the other hand, don't seem to be interested in it much. The Scott's specialized catalogue is very limited in listings of plate varieties, and perhaps that's a representative level of the interest the collectors show in them. I keep hoping for a change in focus similar to what has happened in Canada, but I'm not holding my breath! Ryan

I see that no one has posted on the Korea thread in awhile. I am an 1840-1930 WW collector, but have also taken a liking to early Korean issues. I have found a stamp dealer in Seoul who has a great selection and very fair prices. Here are some of the earliest issues in my collection:

Korea Falcon Issue, 1903
And here is my falcon set. It took me several years to put this together due to cost and the difficulty in finding copies with good centering. I got most of these through my preferred dealer in Seoul, although one of the lower values was found at the APS Stamp Store (online).
Korea, Sc 39-51; Scott Catalogue Note: "Values are for stamps with perfs touching the design."

Since there is no action on this thread since Chris's ( Beryllium Guy ) last post in 2016, I was working on a small lot I found of South Korea yesterday and these 2 stamps came up - look alike but after measuring perfs, they came up: 1) Scott # 126 - 1951 - Perf 11 Used, nice CV 2) Scott # 189 - 1952-53 - Perf 12 1/2 MNH, also nice CV René

SG 250 - striped vertical paper. Face value with numbers only

norsten , SG 207 has wavy line watermarks. See the example at the below link. The stamp on this page is from the same time period. You can see the wavy line watermarks faintly in the scan of the back of the stamp. Wavy lines watermarkAlso SG250 does not have this symbol 환 (hwan), after the denomination of 100. This series of definitives with same designs was re-issued several times. The last issue excluded the word "hwan" after all the numerical denominations. Let me see if I can dig up examples from my collection of all of these stamps
