The famous stamp collector Josiah Lilly said that there were 100,000 postage stamps he wanted for his collection and he succeeded in acquiring 77,000. My considerably easier target is 35,000 of the more common stamps from 1840-1940 contained in the Scott Blue International Album Volume 1. This blog will record my progress, provide general information about Classic era philately and hopefully encourage other "Blue" collectors.

Amos Bundles Scott Classic Catalogue and Volume One International Album
Amos Publishing has announced what I believe is the first bundling of the Classic Catalogue and the pages for the (largely) corresponding album, the Scott International Volume One that covers 1840-1940. The cost of the bundle is $749.99, $599.99 if you are an Amos Advantage member. This represents a 5% savings over the cost of buying the catalog and album separately. Note that the catalog currently advertised is the 2014 version. So unless Amos updates the bundle when the 2015 catalog appears in November, you are buying last year's edition.

2014 catalog is still listed, but AA price is now $399.99, which seems to be a really good deal.
Not sure its worth trading in my 1980s edition 2-volume BigBlue, which is still in pretty shape, and my 2011 catalog, which still serves my purpose. I might rather spend the money on getting myself a Part 2 album to go up to 1950.
UPDATE: I checked with Amos regarding this bundled package. Unfortunately they will not be updating this. Specifically, they said, "This was a trial item, which we will not be offering going forward."
Too bad!
