Note: At the time of this entry (4/2016) the census lists 11,003 covers with Scott #1, up from 9388 in 2001 in Thomas Alexander's book (with some duplicates removed). Given the rate of discovery over the past 15 years, I estimate approx 12,060 are in existence. This means 1057, or so, are still waiting to be "discovered."
