- What The R’s Are by Bob Hohertz
In the Scott Specialized Catalog of US Stamps and Covers the items with R prefixes are revenue issues.

This website is an expanded version of one prepared for the eBay Users Stamp Club and is meant to provide a brief overview of each of the Scott-listed revenue categories as of the year 2000 Catalog.
- Tax Paids — Non-Scott Listed U.S. Revenues by Bob Hohertz
“Taxpaids” is the catchall title for United States Federal revenues that, for the most part, are denominated in units (one pint, 3/5 barrel, 10 cigarettes) rather than money. They are not listed in the Scott Specialized Catalog at present, although Scott appears to be adding some of the categories each year. Many of them are listed in the catalogs put out by the late Sherwood Springer.
