I have been looking about at various commercial albums in which to place my Canada/Newfoundland collection. I am interested in hingeless pages with black and white photographs. I have been bothered by the fact that seldom are there catalogue numbers included. I was curious about this but I have just come across some information that there maybe a copyright reason for this.
Is this true?
Thanks,
John

For Scott, yes. While you are free to add the catalog numbers, a lot of catalog publisher's will draw the line if you are using their catalog numbers in a commercial product -- then you will either need to get permission/license.
Secondly, also primarily with Scott -- they do occasionally renumber some items each year. Doesn't happen often, but over decades it add up and you will encounter it. I've run into old dealer cards or old Scott-branded albums (e.g., Scott Grand Master Album, some Scott Specialty country albums) in which a few catalog numbers were wrong, not because it was mis-IDed, but because the catalog number changed.
On some stamp albums that do have catalog numbers, they will print the catalog number "in the box" so it gets covered up once you get the stamp.

Thanks, I appreciate the information. I will probably go with Lindner as I already have one Canada (1990's) album and my German Third Reich Collection in them.
I really just need an early Canada (to 1951) + Newfoundland which I think I will be able to fit in one album as well as a Weimar Republic album.
