I'm interested in starting a Christmas seal collection, with custom pages, made by me.
I would like to collect singles for each printers mark, for all of US, Canadian English, and Canadian French versions.
Here is what I need to get started:
1) How many years were Canadian and US seals sharing the same design?
2) Were all Canadian seals issued in both English/French?
3) Did Canadian seals include secret marks to identify the printers used?
4) Is there a catalog, that lists all of the Canadian/US seals and what were the secret marks/letters for each year?
5) Is there an organization that would be a good alternate place to find info like this?
Still just sortin'....

In the next week or two I will be releasing a new US Christmas Seal section of Stamp Smarter. It will offer a new Christmas Seal online catalog, a new downloadable Christmas Seal PDF specialized catalog, and updated downloadable Christmas Seal 'print your own' album pages.

there are two seal organizations that I know of: Chrsitmas Seal and Charity Stamp Society (Vin sent the club's web site already) and Poster Stamp Society. The former is more specific to what you want and the latter is broader.
The former has a quarterly journal, with just tons of great stuff, and hosts an auction as well. I know less about PSS.
CS&CSS president hosts the society's website (thanks again, Vin) and he is generally great at answering questions.
Green's catalogue will list all the US in Vol 1 and all foreign (inc Canada) in vol 2, and it should indicate in vol 2 which are shared designs with US.
hope that helps

Yay!
Another Christmas Seal collector!
I don't know that there are many of us here on SOR.
Welcome to the fold, Ken!
I started my collection for my (now grown) daughter, who is a nut about everything Christmas. She absolutely loves that time of year....plays Christmas music all year long...(drives me crazy! 
)
I use John Denune's pages offered on the site Vince noted.
And for those of you who may not be aware, our own amsd (David) is the editor of the Seal News - as stated under his avatar picture! (SALUTE!)
