There seems to be a bit of confusion among newer USA collectors about booklet stamps and what constitutes a “different” type. I’m fairly sure that this is because Scott catalog doesn’t assign unique catalog numbers to the different booklet positions. I am currently selling out all of my duplicate USA and I’ve been adding an explanation along with my lots to help inform beginner USA collectors that there can be a difference in value between different booklet positions. To explain this, I added a screen shot of a page from the Michel catalog that illustrates these price differences. See example below. If I buy a USA collection in Europe, those varieties are often included, but rarely in collections assembled by USA collectors. How about you? Are you a “just one” collector or do you follow the Michel model and hunt for the varieties?
Unfortunately, I do not have a Michel catalog for USA. Would someone who has a Michel USA please kindly share a picture of a similar USA issue that has a price difference between corners and others? Thank you for your help. ![](https://tsfimagehost.net/images/2024/06/18/6e98a19759ccc5236dc0a7704a4d0170.jpg)

Michel 350,Scott 720 Price columns from left right: mint,never hinged / used / on letter / FDC / plate bloc
Not the most actual catalogue: "USA-Spezial 1980", so prices are in DM (German Marks).
