In the U.S.-published Scott catalogue, all semi-postal stamps are prefixed with the capital letter "B". If you are trying to identify a stamp and can't find it in your album, check the stamp again and see if you see a plus sign (+). If so, it's probably a "B" stamp. If you can't find it and you see an airplane in the picture, it's probably a "C" stamp! And if all the characters are in an alphabet you do not speak, talk to your local expert or buy a useful book such as Linn's Stamp Identifier that helps you find those "weird" stamps that we all have.
