Checklist

An indispensable tool for the serious Slania-collector

As a help to all Slania-collectors I have developed a fully searchable checklist containing all Czeslaw Slania's engraved postage stamps from all countries and all years.  Catalogue numbers are given after Stanley Gibbons, Scott, Michel, and Yvert & Tellier, enabling any collector to use his/her favourite catalogue.  

The checklist is obtainable for the modest sum of 8.00 US-dollars -- or 7.00 Euro -- whichever suits you best, and will give a unique overview of Czeslaw Slania's engraved postage stamps, providing at the same time your personal checklist.  To give you an idea of what you are buying, here is a sample country, Australia, for free.   If you want the rest of the database, you will need to email me stating your name and e-mail address, and I will contact you soonest possible -- normally within 48 hours -- with details of where to send your payment.  If you prefer to pay online, I have established a PayPal account for your convenience.  You can send the amount in US-dollars or Euro simply by going to PayPal; make your payment payable to my email address and be sure to state "Slania Checklist" in the subject line + your name and return email-address in the comment-box.

Upon receipt of payment (8.00 US-dollars, or 7.00 Euro) -- or appropriate notification from PayPal -- I will send you instantly the full zip-file as an attachment to an email.  The file is compressed in WinZip, ver.7, and takes c. 80 Kb (fully extracted ca. 280 Kb) in Excel 2000.  If you wish to print out the checklist it is advisable to adjust your printer so that the sheets are printed horizontally (landscape-position), and -- at least -- the option "print gridlines" checked.  At present there are c. 43 pages to print.  

The checklist does not contain banknotes or other Slania-related items, such as FDC's, imperf varieties, black-prints, revenues, postal cards, reply cards, souvenir cards, telephone cards etc., but you can add more columns to fit your specific collection of such items.  A few such items are shown in the stamp section of this site.   The checklist will be updated annually when catalogue numbers of recent issues have become known.  The checklist is guaranteed virus-free.  

The checklist is a simplified version of the official hardcover checklist published by the Czeslaw Slania Study Group, Milwaukee, USA, but is far from a digitalized copy of this.  The hardcover copy which is obtainable from the Czeslaw Slania Study Group, will give you much more detailed information about each item than it is possible in an online database.  Further, the hardcover checklist has only Scott catalogue numbers through and through, whereas mine has cross references between the four major catalogues.  Yet, the purchase price for the hardcover copy and mine is the same.  The Study Group is not online, but you can find the postal address on the link page of this site.  

All possible care has been taken to state the correct catalogue numbers of the four major catalogues, but if you in spite of this meet any mistakes, or have any questions, please let me know by email, and I will contact you soonest possible.  All feedback is welcome, and is received with pleasure  :-)
