The catalog is printed the late part of the year. The 1969 catalog will be released about November or so. What ever happens after that you can only goby the monthly journals that are issued. This even doesn't put the right prices on the stamps. The U.N. Kiss of peace stamp was issued November 17, '68 after the printing of Scott's '68 catalog. The sales of this stamp were cancelled after December 26. You could no longer purchase it from the U.N. As we all know the cancellation of sales for this stamp after Dec. 26 will make it harder for dealers to replenish their stock and who knew this would happen. So as a result the stamp will naturally be higher in price. Knowing this the dealer would be foolish to sell this stamp at catalog price knowing that when he needs more he will have to pay a higher price. Until the public starts demanding and the dealers supplying the catalog can not possibly know the price to quote. lately, had a party, picnic, family gathering or reunion? How about recording it so you can have it for your scrap book or as a remembrance of the occasion. Give me a call and Pll put it in the column. Although the prices for most stamps are gauged by theScotts and Minkus catalog this will not apply to the stamps that have been hard to find or will be hard to get. It will take a year or so for the new issues to get the right price printed in the catalogs. The older issues of UJS. are all sold over catalog if they are well centered and mint and in very good condition. Post offices are now equipped with rubber stamps with which to mark "PAL" on all packages qualifying to use the $1 parcel Airlift issued April 4. This stamp will carry any parfeel not exceeding 30 pounds in weight or 60 inches in length and girth combined to or from any Overseas military postoffice by air on a space-available basis, plus the regular surface rate of postage to or from the APO or FPO address. The post office Department's popular paperback, illustrating and describing all UnitedStates postage stamps from the first issue to the present has just appeared in a new edition, carrying through the Roosevelt coil and booklet stamps issued December 28, 1967. Its 276 pages are full of details on reasons for issuance, designers, source of designs and printing methods, with printing statistics, plate numbers and additional data for the more recent issues. It has been prepared for many years under the supervision of Mrs. Virginia Brizendine, director of the Division of Philately. The book has sold nearly a million and a half copies through the years. It may be bought over the counter at the Philatelic Exhibition Room first floor Post Office Department Building 12th and Pennsylvania Avenue NW or by mail from the Superintendent of Documents, Government Printing office, Washington, D.C. 20402.
