PRICING & PRINT VOLUMES
Catalogue pricing for Latin America can be very inconsistent across the main publishers. For stamps with low print volumes we show numbers printed where available to help you determine the relative scarcity.
CATALOGUE NUMBERS
Listings will always refer to Scott. However, we can provide the equivalent number in any other catalogue (Stanley Gibbons, Michel, Yvert, Sanabria or specialised) upon request.
For comprehensive information on the specialized catalogues available for each Latin American country, see the Resources section in the CLA Blog
FORGERIES
All stamps are sold as genuine. Stamps known to be forged are checked against reference material prior to listing. If you have any concerns, please let us know. Stamps on album pages are unchecked (see below).
ALBUM PAGES & SELECTIONS
Stamps on album pages or selections have not been fully checked and are sold as seen. The reverse of the stamps will not have been inspected for gum, watermarks, perf variety or condition. Album pages may be carefully folded to keep postage costs down unless requested otherwise.
