Depending on who and why, another possibility is that the Harris catalog is often free, and the brookman is often cheap, properties that do not apply to the scott, ever! Scott used to be a stamp dealer, in the very early days, and sold stamps for the prices shown in their catalog, but discovered that they could sell their catalog and make more money. They invented and control their numbering system, and that is their primary asset. Harris and Brookman are dealers, and license the use of the Scott numbers to identify their merchandise.
i wrote and tried to sell a software system for stamp dealers, with mixed success. i had to give it up, though. scott was willing to license their numbering system to me, but it was clear from the agreement they suggested that they get marketing advice from their legal department.
