Get the cheapest old one that you can find, then cross reference the numbers to prices using www.allwordstamps.com.

The allwordstamps site is charging a big fee.

I've never been charged a fee to look at catalog values. Click on the advaced button, you then get access to all countries and eras. Just checked it out and no fees were asked of me.

don't bother using the online catalogue, it is useless, outdated with many mistakes as it is based on Stamp of The World and has many pricings which are in Part 1 wrong.

 

Get a copy of the Red Part 1, British Commonwealth & Empire 1840-1970, a couple of years old doesn't matter,

I see there is a red 2010 catalogue and a 2012 red catalogue. So many types by Gibbons. Both are British Commonwealth & Empire. Is the 2012 the same as 2010 just newer?

Please check my following info. I now see there is a new catalogue each year. Regency sells a 2013 for $132. This is cheaper than the 3 year old catalogues i find on eBay. Can this be correct? It looks like a red 2013 British Commonwealth & Empire 1840-1970.

Answering my own question. Yes the earlier editions are cheaper but not by that much. Will wait for more of your valuable feedback and then depending may order a 2013. I need to find out if Regency Superior has them in stock or do they come from England. Updated pricing would be good but i really need the watermarks & shades,etc.

The catalog you will find best is the Stanley Gibbons Commonwealth & British Empire Stamps 1840-1970 edition. I have the 2010 and find that completely adequate, although I believe there is a newer one. Mine cost me around GBP 75.

 

Although I did a search on Amazon under this title :

Stanley Gibbons Stamp Catalogue-India (Commonwealth Catalogues) and found a 2009 catalog specific to India, I'm not sure what detail it goes into, but I would assume quite specific seeings as it is a country only catalog.

Randy,

 

I have never seen the India catalogue but it would be just the excerpts from the regular Part I,

 

Gibbons Part I is issued every year with updated prices and changes, usually additions of watermark variations.

 

I would recommend at least the 2010-2011 issue although is 2012 is available at a good price then go for it.
