STAMP CATALOUGE

The first stamp catalog was published in France by Oscar Berger-Levrault on 17 September 1861 and the first illustrated catalog by Alfred Potiquet in December 1861.

Older catalogs are still widely used by collectors as they may contain information not found in current catalogs.

Originally catalogs were just dealers' price lists. Catalogs give additional supporting details about the stamps, such as dates of issue, color variations, and so forth.

Catalouges published annually having worldwide coverage:
Michel - printed, software and online
Scott - printed, pdf-format and online
Stanley Gibbons - printed and online
Yvert et Tellier - printed only
