Introduction

Unlike Regular Issues, there were a limited amount of perforation and other variations in Commemorative Issues, so I elected to collect ALL major Scott numbers for Commemoratives with these exceptions:

• 613 ( see note )
• 1789B ( see note )

Doing so provided illustrative examples of many of the slight variations that overwhelm Regular Issues:

• Scott # 369 on page 6 ("bluish" paper variety of Lincoln Memorial issue)
• Scott # 401-404 on page 7 (perf 10 versions of Panama Pacific Expo)
• Scott # 612 on page 8 (Rotary Press perf 10 variety), although 613 excluded - see note 
• Scott # 656 on page 13 (Rotary Press perf 11 x 10.5 variety of Edison issue)
• Scott # 738 on page 17 (Flat Press perf 11 variety of Whistler's Mother)
• Scott # 1580B on page 154 (perf variety of 1975 Christmas issue)
• Scott # 1703 on page 168 (type variation of 1976 Christmas issue)
• Scott # 1789A on page 185 (perf variation of John Paul Jones issue), although 1789B excluded - see note 
• Scott # 1795A-1798A on page 188 (perf 11 version of Olympic block of 4)
• Scott # 2580-2581 on page 293 (type variation of Santa and Chimney stamp)

Starting with the 21st Century issues, I have amended this policy somewhat to exclude self-adhesive "perforation" variations. They aren't even perforations, actually, but serpentine die-cuts that appear similar to perforations when the stamps are separated. It isn't difficult to imagine that a "perforation" pattern could be created that would cause every stamp on the sheet to be unique! I will still differentiate between serpentine cut and rouletted, for example, but measuring serpentine wavelengths seems silly to me.

I have also gone beyond the minimum requirement of the smallest intact se-tenant block in the case of booklets and typically collect the entire booklet for se-tenant issues.

Commemoratives - 1950 - 1969

Highlights

• The Dag invert is included on page 93. For more info see the Dag page in Beyond BOB.
• The first US se-tenant block is shown on page 99. Then an se-tenant pair is shown on page 109. Notice that singles aren't shown as well! Things get complicated with the Colonial Flags issue. There are two different se-tenant patterns (one pattern at the top of the printed sheet and the other at the bottom), so White Ace provided a place for both strips and also for the singles. If this had been an isolated instance, it would be OK, but White Ace then started providing spaces for ALL se-tenant blocks AND their singles (see pages 116 and 118).
• All se-tenant blocks and coil strips are in Scott Number Order (SNO). Many times when the blocks and singles are both shown on a White Ace page, the singles are not in SNO, but I didn't both correcting those pages. It is sufficient that the block itself is in SNO. I generally tried to get a Plate Number Coil (PNC) strip in SNO for coils.

Commemoratives - 1970 - 1979

Weeds

I left several airmail stamps since they went with a Commemorative series. These stamps can also be found in the Airmail album:

• C85 on page 131 makes sense as part of the Olympics series.
• C84 on page 132 makes sense as part of the National Parks series.
• C86 on page 140 makes sense as part of the Electronics series.
• C97 on page 184 makes sense as part of the Olympics series.

Notes

• Full sheet of State Flags (pages 156-161) is stored in the Sheet Album.

Weeds

Several airmail stamps are again included in the pages:

• C121 on page 271 makes sense as part of the America Issue.
• C122-C126 on page 276 makes sense as part of the 20th UPC issue.
• C127 on page 282 makes sense as part of the America Issue.
• C131 on page 292 makes sense as part of the America Issue.

Notes

• Pages 293a-c - Booklet panes not necessary to collect smallest se-tenant blocks in most instances since each pane is just one stamp, but 2580 and 2581 (type variations) are se-tenant and many future Christmas issues were se-tenant, so complete panes are displayed for completeness.
• Full sheets of American Wildlife (pages 249- 253) and American Wildflowers (pages 304-308) are stored in the Sheet Album.

Commemoratives - 1996 - 1999

Highlights

Commemorative page numbers starting with 1996 are numbered sequentially, when I began using Simplified pages. White Ace has not released Simplified pages for prior years, yet. I would really like to see simplified pages for 1970 to 1995 so I don't have to store singles and blocks of 4 of so many issues. The White Ace page numbering for these pages is quite different (see White Ace page numbering).
