Can anyone tell me if they have a Scott catalog about FDC's rather than stamps.
I am trying to find out about how many countries did Fleetwoods produce in regard to a collection they produced called Princess Diana Remembered either 1997 or 98 is the year.
Through my buying of sorts I have amassed 59 countries! I just wondered if Scotts catalog covered this particular collection. I have emailed Scotts but I also thought I would ask in here as well.
Any information on this subject or sites or sellers that could maybe help would be appreciated.
Kind regards Julian

Julian, Scott features FDCs only in its US Specialized catalogue. It doesn't do any FDCs from other countries.

Hi David,
Your kidding. Oh well there's a wasted email then because I know what their answer will be now. I really cannot believe I coming up against such an easy question, or what should be, and not getting an answer. I have to say this all boils down to Mystic as far as I am concerned.
But I then think I shall have to find an American site based on FDC's rather than stamps which I do find laughable as it still centers around a stamp.
I am sorry you keep having to be the bearer of bad news but I cannot keep hoping for something that's not going to happen in this forum. I should have taken the hint by my own stamp forum in this country I was barking up the wrong tree.
OK David well seeing as I signed up to two stamp forums in the States and got no where I shall try searching the net instead.
All is not lost though I have enjoyed trying. Sort of, ha ha ha

Julian,
sorry you are having such a hard time finding your answer, but it points to what appears to be an elusive specialty, and one in which the specialists themselves have not uploaded the information you desire and they have.
I don't think you can fault Scott (they don't do FDCs for any country besides the US) nor Mystic (this is not their bread and butter, and likely not the way that Fleetwood did business either). On the latter, remember that the secondary market for commercial (rather than privately produced) FDCs is pretty weak (read: not profitable), so it's really unlikely that Fleetwood or Coronado or any of them kept an inventory, and even less likely it would have been open to cross-referencing among various countries.
Sounds like if YOU put together such a list, you would be the world's sole expert on the area. Hint.

Don't give up on the folks here so easily! I posted a question back in May and only got 1 quick answer, (which I did appreciate) but didn't get the answers I was needing until just these past few days.(almost 2 months)
The info you're asking for might be out there, but may take a little time. If not, be patient and keep researching, as David pointed out, you could end up being the expert that others come to for answers.
Good luck with your quest,
WB

Tigger: To answer your first part of your post then I have Scott's 2007 US First Day Cover Catalogue & Checklist. I believe that is the most recent edition and likely the only catalogue they produced for FDC.
I will echo the other folks on here that your best resource is the AFDCS or the library at APS. There are dozens of articles in the AFDCS magazine that refer to or are about Fleetwood, if I was looking for further info then I would try contacting some of those article authors.
