Its interesting that the Scott catalog lists the stamps of Mongolia...but it does not exist in my Scott International albums 1965-1969.

re: Mongolia

Over on the SCF forum there are two threads, both with somewhat demeaning comments, about a recent Kelleher auction which contained several Mongolian lots. There were a total of nine Mongolian Lots and when the hammer finally fell the grand total of these nine Lots was an astounding $220,500. Lot # 338, with a preauction estimated of $2000-$3000, sold for $80,000.

None of the pundits could see anything highly unusual in this 1950-2005 material but it did contain, mint never hinged stamps as opposed to the more typical CTO stamps. There was also a number of imperf examples.

Some folks (or was it 'grumpy old men!?) had strong opinions that include terms like ‘wallpaper’ or ‘labels’ and ‘clueless buyers’ but I think that we should support those who collect anything and in anyway in our hobby. I do not think it healthy for our hobby to be divisive by classifying some types of collecting 'lower' than other. Why should postal history or exhibiting be considered somehow better than collecting Mongolia?

Although I have had a ‘fun’ world-wide collection since the 1970s I do not collect much Mongolian material. But I enjoy seeing anyone who is enthusiastic about what they collect and always try to learn from them.

re: Mongolia

Scott has started listing more of the Trucial States issues on Arabian peninsula(some call them the Sand Dunes) but I doubt they would create album pages for them. These are tame compared to what is coming out today from many countries.

re: Mongolia

There are many stamp issuing entities contained in the Scott catalogues for which Scott does not make album pages, or stopped making them. I print Steiner pages for those.

re: Mongolia

I suppose the Scott catalogs really try but they are not exactly the Bible either.

re: Mongolia

I have a Minkus album for Mongolia but they stopped making pages in 1995. The one I got in the 90's had spaces for the souvenir sheets, the one I got a couple years ago (I had sold off my collection in the early 2000's) does not. I lived in Mongolia and love the country. The early stamps in particular are hard to find and there is a healthy market for them. MNH especially the imperfs has seen a dramatic increase as stated above--I would attribute that to Asian collectors.

re: Mongolia

I was not familiar with the Minkus Supreme Global albums when i first began collecting..the blue internationals were everywhere. I picked up the world to 1960 in two of the big Minkus album many years ago and am still moving stamps from them into my International albums. The Minkus i have has one page of Mongolia issues of 1924-45.
