I guess I was not clear. Let’s say that I want to add a new coil stamp to the database. For that stamp I would be able to insert into the database a price for various mint and used singles, for a fdc, and even for a non-existent pb. But how do I input into the database the category of and price for a line pair, or for a pnc of 3 or 5. The reason that I am confused is that when I do go to add an existing coil stamp which is already in the database to my inventory those classifications are already there, but if I am adding a new coil stamp into the database I don’t see how that would be done since as far as I can see in the database the only types that can be added and priced there are the various mint and used stamps plus fdc and pb.....nothing else.

When I use the stamp data manager to add a stamp or to edit a stamp in the Stamps-Text section, the final part deals with values and that lists mint, used plus fdc and pb only. Yet many stamps in the database show sheets, line pairs, etc. as part of the basic types that can be chosen when adding a stamp to my collection. So how does one put those additional categories for new stamps into the database? Maybe I am missing something that is obvious here....but I sure don't see where that is? Thanks, Ken

I entered a large group of stamps which had the same purchase price and were of the same condition. However, I inadvertently failed to specify the condition for the stamps when I entered the group of stamps. As a consequence, of course, the condition was not specified and nor was the current value. So, I then selected the same group of stamps and specified the condition for the stamps. The condition then showed up properly for all of the stamps. However, the current value for all of the stamps remained at $0.00. The only way to get the current value for the stamps was to individually edit each stamp and manually select the condition for each stamp. Would like to see the program be able to not only group edit the condition...but have that group edit correctly enter the current value as it does when one does a group add of the stamps in the first place. Thanks, Ken

When entering a couple of US Postmaster Provisional Stamps in SM 2019, I noticed that the descriptions of those stamps in the database were incorrect. 10x and 11x types incorrectly showed "George Washington" while 9x types which should have been Washington were blank. So, using the Stamp Data Manager I made the appropriate corrections. Then I clicked "Submit User Changes to Liberty...". But it seem to upload a bunch of images and if I am not mistaken several thousand items....not just the changes I made in the Stamp Data Manager. So did I submit the changes properly, will they be noticed among all the other things that might have been uploaded? Thoroughly confused if I did this right or not. Ken

Not sure if your reply is "tongue in cheek" or serious.

I am new to this program and am entering my collection. In addition to my current collection, my database also includes stamps that I have sold over the years. When I enter stamps information it initially puts all stamps (sold, unsold, etc.) into the current window which in my case is typically the My Collection folder - United States. So even though I am entering Sold Stamps, those stamps do not go directly into the Sold Stamps folder. The only way I can be sure that they are getting properly placed into the Sold Stamps folder is by closing the program, then re-opening it. At that point all the sold stamps properly appear in the Sold Stamps folder. So my questions are: Is this the way the program is designed to work? Is there another way to get the Sold Stamps into the proper place without closing/opening the program? (I know that if I have the Sold Stamps window open then the Sold Stamps will go directly into the Sold Stamps Folder...however then the unsold stamps go there until the program is closed/opened.) Hopefully this is clear...thanks for any assistance, Ken

One of the stamps in my collection is/was Scott #56. At some point, the Scott catalog changed that and a few other stamps to be part of what they call "1861 First Design Essays and Trial Color Proofs". And that stamp now has the designation as Scott #65-e15h. However, the StampManage database incorrectly shows that in the proof section as #63-e15h. (Also the StampManage database incorrectly still includes a listing for #56 in the general issues section....though without any pricing information. And it also includes #55 and 57-62 there which have also been moved to the proof category and given different numbers.) So I am not sure how to deal with all of this. Also, when I look at the StampManage Database there does seem to be a #65-e15h shown in the General Issues category. Frankly, since I was trying to figure out what to do with this stamp, I really don't know if I mistakenly created that in the general issues category of the Database of if it was always there. Being very new to StampManage, I am not sure how to correctly enter this stamp and have it appear in the proof section rather than the general issue section and also of course the error in the StampManage proof section of the database (i.e. #63 vs #65) should be corrected in an update I guess? So any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ken

He will probably be more successful with StampManage rather than CoinManage. 😀😀

Your image is correct, but is described by Scott as "Perf 10 Vertically."

I am starting to use the StampManage program and have a lot of stamps to enter. One thing that I would like to do is to enter only the year (rather than the exact date) for the purchase and or sold date. If that is possible, I don't seem to know how to do that...and if not, I think it would be a good idea for a future enhancement. I have stamps to enter that have been purchased 50+ years ago, etc. and though I like to keep that information in my database, the exact dates are unavailable and really not that important anyway. Anyone have any thoughts on this, plus or minus? Thanks, Ken
