Yugoslavia: Scott catalog number is 1073, Michel catalog number 1483 IAb (ziegelrot), which bothered me till I found it and put it in the collection. In general, I think that the Michel catalog caused a lot of problems for people who are trying to make a "reference" collection from a certain period of Yugoslavia! Although this brand has a relatively low catalog price of 1.00 euro, it is difficult to find it on the free market, so people like me will very easily agree to a price twice as high as the catalog! Scott catalog don't have listing for this color variety (rose red and brick red), and have it as 1.50 US$ per mint, nh condition.

Can you elaborate more on your comments regarding Michel, Is it because like Scott they do not list all the color varieties?

Can you elaborate more on your comments regarding Michel, Is it because like Scott they do not list all the color varieties? Michel catalog number made it well, little bit complicated for people that collect just simple option, but, as it is with many countries, Yugoslavia have it too, over time, collectors discover that some issues are printed on different paper, and perforated by different perforation machines. So, in this case, Michel number 1483 IAb (ziegelrot), Scott number 1073 as number in Michel catalog say (b), it is brick red color, instead of orange red, than come this (I A) mark, which say, it is printed on ordinary paper (fluorescent paper have mark "II A"). I think, that for simple collection it is no important what You put inside, but, as I know, people that complete one country collection, simplified, over time go for hunting and made it more specialized collection!
