<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lettow, post: 1848066, member: 6986&quot;]I never really collected stamps but one of the complaints I had heard about stamps was the way in which the Scott catalog significantly overvalued stamp prices.&nbsp; I can recall seeing ads for stamps that would tout a high catalog for an item but be offered for sale at a fraction of the CV.&nbsp; That sort of uncertainty does not lead to much consumer confidence in the market.</p><p><br /></p><p>A few years ago the values for German notes in the Pick catalog showed dramatic increases in the lower grades.&nbsp; Those prices bore no semblance to reality.&nbsp; They were the result of a technical problem with the way the values were determined.&nbsp; The higher catalog prices had a negative effect on the market.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
