Strangely my album's first page mentions Scott #'s 3B and 3C (same as #2 and #3 but laid paper) and Scott #'s 14 and 15 (same as #12 and #13 but wove paper) although the latter pair are no longer listed in the Scott catalog.
Does anyone know more about these issues? No, I don't have them.

Congratulations Jerrel, and good luck, it's very difficult to actually finish a major country!! I'm close with a few countries but in all cases it will be very difficult or even impossible because of prices! Australia - 10 stamps if you ignore postage dues (cutoff 1955) Canada (ignore provinces) - 9 stamps which are almost all ridiculous, 40 stamps including provinces (cutoff 1988) Ireland - 12 of the seahorse overprints (cutoff 1955) Jamaica - 10 stamps, 17 if you include 7 a's I'm missing (cutoff 1955). I would love to finish a couple of these if I get lucky!! Best of luck!!!

Congratulations Jerrel. Although I have a Finnish collection, I know I'll never complete it. It is still fun to work on.
Comparing my 1970 Scott catalogue and my more current one I found:
The old Scott 14 and 15 have been renumbered 7f and 10h.

Jan,
Thanks for the pointer to the older Scott catalog. I have a 1971 Scott catalog and will check the entry once I get it out of storage tomorrow. We have been in temporary housing for just over a year and should close on a new house just before Christmas. Needless to say it is going to be a very busy Christmas season here! I did try looking for examples on eBay and Hipstamp but none are currently available. Of course, when I looked for sales of a mint copy of Finland Scott #30 eBay's Stamp Market Index indicated no sales since 2004 of that issue although I remember seeing one offered that seemed to be a bit problematic in that it looked a bit worn but that appeared to sell on eBay late last year. The price was a lot lower than the one that I just purchased though.

Just made payment for two of the last stamps I need for my Finland collection, Scott #'s 11 - used stamp and Scott #30 - mint stamp. Now just need Scott #'s 1, 20, 21, and 23 where I would very much like to find mint stamps, in particular, for the 20, 21, and 23 issues from 1875-81. Will have to keep looking for them. Currently I have (will have) mint stamps from Scott #12 up.
