Greetings, all! I checked my Scott 2013 WW Catalogue, but I could not find the Sri Lanka stamps shown below in there. I am under the impression that these were issued sometime after 2013. I would be grateful to any member who can tell me the Scott Catalogue numbers for these, as well as the catalogue values, and which edition of the catalogue you are using. Many thanks for your help!   |

What I collect: I collect world wide up to 1965 with several specialty albums added due to volume of material I have acquired. At this point I am focused on Canada and British America. I am always on the lookout for stamps and covers with postmarks from communities in Queens County, Nova Scotia. I do list various goods including stamps occasionally on eBay as hdm50

Using hdm1950’s hint of the year, I found the butterflies listed on Colnect as Michel 2413 (Tiger) and 2418 (Indigo Royal), from a set of 12. Nice stamps! Edited to add: Oh, and the lion looks like it’s from 2021, listed as Michel 2332  |

A quick eBay search of Sri Lanka butterflies shows those ones as a 2022 release. Thanks to that work from hdm1950, I was able to find the stamps (part of an extensive series of individual stamps and a couple of souvenir sheets). colnect.com/en/stamps/list/country/200-Sri_Lanka/year/2022According to Colnect, they were issued just about a year ago, 12/1/22. If there were a "Sn" number there, that would correlate with Scott. But since it's a pretty recent issue by catalog publisher standards, it may well not have been assigned a number yet. However, if anyone subscribes to the Linn's/Scott monthly catalog update, they could check and see if they've assembled some Sri Lanka listings yet. |

Many thanks for your responses, hdm1950, swvl, and Philatarium! Ok, so we have a Scott number for the 500R stamp from 2021, but not yet for the butterflies from 2022. I can see that I will need to spend some time learning how to navigate Colnect, a task with which I have long struggled. Does Colnect give any info on catalogue value for the 500R in used condition? If not, I will make do with at least indicating the Scott number. Thanks again, all! |

Yes, you need to invest some time to learn how to navigate Colnect. |

Chris / Beryllium Guy: To get those numbers and values, my opinion is that you ought to make a separate post (new thread?) and ask if anyone is currently subscribing to the Scott monthly stamp magazine. Even for the earlier 2021 stamp, subscribers can access several years of back issues. If Scott treats Sri Lanka's new issues the way they do Japan's, whatever initial used value they gave the stamp when they catalogued it is very likely unchanged. subscribe.amosmedia.com/stamp/subscriptions-options/I used to subscribe, but I'm afraid I haven't for several years. |
