Fruits and Vegetables, Bugs Bunny stamps receive Scott numbers
Scott Catalog News by Charles Snee
Another month has passed, and that means it’s time to reveal another batch of new Scott catalog numbers.
The editors of the Scott catalogs each month assign catalog numbers to new issues from the United States, United Nations and postal services from around the world.
The new Scott numbers detailed here are for recently issued U.S. stamps. New Scott numbers for worldwide stamps are given in the Scott New Listings Update in the expanded monthly issue of Linn’s Stamp News.
Included in this month’s listings are Scott numbers for the 10 Fruits and Vegetables definitive forever stamps issued July 17, and the 10 Bugs Bunny commemorative forever stamps issued July 27. The Fruits and Vegetables stamps were issued in a double-sided pane of 20, and the Bugs Bunny stamps were issued in a standard pane of 20 with a decorative selvage header.
What do these Scott numbers signify? In short, each stamp’s listing in an upcoming edition of the 2021 Scott catalogs.
Having these numbers handy will allow you to easily locate these stamps in the Scott catalogs and learn about their production and values.
Now that you have some context, here are the new U.S. Scott numbers:
