I am using a 1981 Scott Canada album for my Canadian collection. I have one small aggravation to contend with. It has a space for a Scott number 798. It has no photo of the stamp, it only says "type of 1977, 2 cent, multicolored". I do not have access to an older catalog to see what was originally listed as number 798. The newer catalogs just skip over that number.

I collect pre 1930 U.S.A. -- Prexie plate blocks --

I an hoping someone has a catalog from the early 80's and can check this. I would think Scott would list this if they put a spot for it in their album!

That series came out in 1977 (Sc #707) and again in 1979 (Sc #782)

The numbers jump from 797 to 800. These numbers refer to booklet stamps of the Parliament type of 1977 (A357). Mike

I guess I'm stuck with an empty spot in the album.
