Free Stamp Collecting Guide

Professional Stamp Experts (PSE) of Newport Beach, Calif. has created a simplified system for building a basic collection of United States postage stamps by major design type.

Entitled, "A Guide to U.S. Design Numbers (USD), 1847- 1947," the new collection-building structure focuses on 435 regular-issue U.S. postage stamps that were issued from 1847 to 1947 and intended for use on letters or parcels.

The full-color, 56-page booklet has photos of the stamps and a cross listing of the USD numbers and their corresponding numbers in the Scott Standard Postage Stamp Catalogue.

Free copies of the booklet now are available to collectors, stamp clubs and dealers.
