Just a note that Scott's raising the minimum value of stamps to 25 cents only completes what they started a few years ago. Many stamps have already been raised to the 25 cent minimum value, though it wasn't official until the 2013 catalogs.

I feel like a marionette and a "higher power" is jerking my strings.
Thank you for that depressing information, Patches.

Scott could save themselves a lot of angst by employing a simple letter like the "M" for minimal value that some other catalogs utilize since the numerical listing is meaningless beyond that anyway. Since they would hate to be thought of as copying someone's good idea they could use a symbol like the asterisk, or "NiV" for "No individual Value".
Something like that would go a long way toward preventing newbies (and some supposedly experienced collectors also.) from multiplying that minimal $0.25 listing times several thousand stamps and thinking that reflected some real value.

The past is a foreign country, they do things different there.

Silence in the face of adversity is the father of complicity and collusion, the first cousins of conspiracy..
