IS A UNITRADE STAMP CATALOGUE REALLY NECESSARY?
In a nutshell… YES! ABSOLUTELY YES! I cannot say it enough, there is no tool more essential for collating your collection of Canada stamps than a current Unitrade catalogue. Simply put, it is the ultimate reference tool since it lists and shows an image of every stamp ever issued by Canada since 1851. Additionally, it also includes all the stamps issued by provinces of Canada before they joined the Dominion, as well, BOB stamps (Back-of-the-Book).

Moreover, not only does a stamp catalogue provide you with the value of your stamps, but it also indicates when it was issued, how many stamps were issued, colour, type of paper and any varieties associated with that issue. There is no other way of knowing this without an up-to-date catalogue.
Also, if you buy stamp lots, a catalogue will be invaluable in helping you sort your stamps according to year by comparing their denominations to those of the stamps listed on its pages.
