Classic catalog has selected stamps on cover
Article Abstract:
The Scott Classic catalog values stamps from 1840-1940. It will now give values for stamps that are on covers. Stamps on cover are compared to unused stamps off cover and the premiums are not much different. The Penny Black, the first world stamp from the UK, is valued at $110 used and $550 on cover.
