Negative Positive
Title: Statistical abstract
Review: Classic US stamps only. This is not a book for the general US collector or someone seeking information on the best method of buying for his/her US collection, since it deals with US Scott Catalog numbers before 834 only. The likelihood of forgery, fault repair, regumming or other misrepresentation in these issues must be extraordinary, given the frequent use of the term, "Beware." Mr. Datz makes a strong case for expertization of nearly every issue in this group. The data on scarcity may be useful for debunking those advertised "really scarce" offers in this high dollar area.
