StampWorld strikes me more as a sale catalog than anything else--but I guess you could say the same thing about all of the hard copy catalogs published 'round the world. I have tried to use StampWorld, but I fear that my attention span has not been particularly long when I've been on there.

There is a great reference website for stamps which we can all add to and which is growing by the minute.
Started by a friend of mine from South Africa, now living in London, it is much like Wikpedia and with some amazing info.
I strongly recommend to look and if possible to add to it. An excellent reference for now and for the future.

He also has a Facebook page where you can ask questions and see how the site is progressing. It is not a forum, only a reference site so it doesn't tread on anyone's toes either.

Ralph:
I do not want to do your thinking for you.
My opinion: "Stampworld" is overloaded with data and still growing.
It is simpler and faster to find what I'm looking for in my
physical stamp catalogues.
Although I have been using a computer for over five years,
I am not a computer geek and websites with lots and lots
of data are, for me, not user-friendly.
I find "Stampworld" not user-friendly.

Hi all
I use the site, stampworld .com ,I find it very useful.If you join you can search by year,other wise you have to go through from the first issues of the country
I did find an error in one set and it took several emails to convince them it was the wrong stamp.
As my paper catalogues only go up to 2010 ,it's great for the later issues and you get to see all the stamps in the set.

I also use stampworld.com - it is fantastic for giving details about issue dates and often has more information such as quantity of issues, etc.
I've found a few places where there are incomplete sets and I've considered emailing a photo of the ones that are missing. They are listed below, they just don't have an image.

What a great site. I have only been looking at it now for about 10 minutes and it's already been useful. Thanks for the link.

I am impressed by the stampworld site. It seems very complete and the pictures are all of a good resolution.
One thing that I would like to know: do they have their own catalog numbering, or do they follow one of the main ones? First impression is that it looks like they used Michel, but I cannot find a reference anywhere.

Ross, I really don't see anything unusual in the Privacy Policy. Just disable Cookies in your browser (which you should do anyway) and you will likely be treated no differently than at sites that are less forthcoming about their Privacy Policy.

If you are interested the ATA has a 44 page checklist for musical instruments. There are also checklists for several specific musical instruments, pipe organs and drums being two of them.
