Working over the last year with the Classic, my admiration definitely has grown.<br /><br />Yet, if one is collecting the British Commonwealth in a "serious" way ;-), then a 1840-1970 Stanley Gibbons is probably necessary. The Scott (at least by the opinions of many in the commonwealth community) comes in second here. I did check out some of the Falkland Islands early issues, and the SG parsed colors much more finely, and gave them major numbers.<br /><br />Then if one talks with a collector from (non Romance language) Europe, he will tell you a Michel is necessary, and is more detailed than Scott. ;-) <br /><br />And so it goes...Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.com
