I've started a new thread for the purpose of providing a quick reference to all the definitive values issued from the 1992 to 1997 series. LegendEach value's entry shows if its printing method was Photogravure and in which format it is found, e.g. coil (Photo, Source); OR If its printing method was Lithography and has a centre phosphor band and in which format it is found (Litho, 1B Source); OR If if its printing method was Lithography and has two phosphor bands and in which format it is found (Litho 2B, Source); OR If it has a watermark and in which format it is found (WaterMk, Source). EDITI omitted to clarify that references to numbers prefixed by the letter Y, denotes the YANG catalogue number. E.g. Y404
Any SG reference to a number that includes the letter 'p', denotes 'phosphor' banding.
My apologies to Scott catalogue users (and any others), that equivalent numbers are not here. I don't even know if Scott lists any of these variants. |

My thanks to tomiseksj for doing a lot of behind the scenes work to get this table into a tidy format. Much appreciated.

I am away from home on travel right now, and do not have access to my philatelic library. When I return early next week, if no one else has responded, I will look up these 1992-1997 Hong Kong issues in my 2006 edition of Scott and inform you how they have been handled. |

I would be interested to hear about that. I won't hold out much hope though, as I'm afraid I've had great difficulty getting to grips with my old Scott and relatively new 'simplified' Scott Hong Kong extract. It is haphazard to say the least.
SG is a bit awkward for this series and Yang is erm... nicely laid out.

I've just had one of those senior moments. I haven't even bothered to look at my Scott HK extract. Would your 2006 edition be the 'simplified/concise' or more specialist?

It is the general catalogue which is comprised of 6 or 7 paperback volumes from A to Z. I got it second-hand, and I keep it just to have a reference to look up more recent stamps. I am unsure if it is labelled as "simplified/concise".
I buy a new Scott Classic Specialized Catalogue 1840-1940 every other year or so, since the classic period is my main area of interest.

Just had a cursory glance at my extract and Scott lists 56 entries. This is some way short of the full series.

Here are the listings for these stamps from the Scott 2006 Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue, Volume 3, Countries of the World G-I, Released in June 2005, pp. 664-665. No mention that the edition is either simplified or concise, so not sure about that. Anyway, I hope this may help!   |

Thanks for posting these guys. I'll see what matches my Scott listing (bought about 3 months ago from a US dealer, who splits Scott catalogues up into country sections), and then see which details are missing. This is useful alone for quoting Scott numbers, which I can't often do, as I use a specialised SG catalogue.
I've been trying to pull together all the various mint definitives I have lying in unfiled stock cards and noticed that some of the coil stamps seem to have a bluish gum. I'm sure I've seen a reference to that somewhere (possibly in one of the articles I linked to). So that is yet another variation.
