Guernsey (with Alderney), Isle of Man, Jersey
The catalog is organized according to collection areas. Cataloging within these sections is chronological, based on issue date. Special stamp types, like official stamps, are located at the end of a collection area section. In order to assist collectors organize their stamps, numerous illustrations are provided, as well as information on similar stamps to help avoid possible mix-ups.
The Crown Dependencies Guernsey, Isle of Man and Jersey, which have been catalogued in this new edition, have always been popular among collectors of individual areas as well. In addition to the beautiful and periodical new issues, the natural boundaries of these (collection) areas certainly contribute to their charms, too.
However, the Year of 2020 has clearly shown that even islands are not isolated these days. The small Isle of Man, which has approx. 80,000 residents, has been almost as affected by the Corona virus as Great Britain and the rest of Europe. Therefore the motifs of the issue of May 4th have been spread throughout the world. Around the globe there are calls for solidarity, cooperation and – last but not least – more appreciation of the “heroes of this crisis”.
In the face of this global crisis, local topics also have to take a backseat on the Isle of Man. Even the world-famous Isle of Man TT races had to be cancelled in 2020 because the number of visitors would have added another 50% to the population. For that reason MiNo. 2591 to 2598 launch a new collection area: Corona motifs – which may turn into a worldwide collection theme.

For MICHEL, the new decade has started with a small revolution. For 14 years we catalogued the issues of the European states in 7 volumes. Yet the growing number of pages and the price increases for the volumes have made it necessary to re-structure them. By splitting the series into 16 individual volumes, we can now provide our readers with reference books that better suit their interests as collectors for a considerably lower price.
The Michel Catalog Kanalinseln und Man 2020/2021 (E14) continues the new Europe series with the popular collection areas of Guernsey, Guernsey – Alderney, Isle of Man and Jersey.
The information collected in our Philatelic Data Base (PDB) is turned into an easy-to-read layout by means of state-of-the-art typesetting technology.
The whole volume has been prepared by our editorial team. One focus was on the revision and updating of price quotations. Generally the issues were catalogued and the details updated based on the latest state of research. Numerous new MICHEL numbers have been added and many editorial changes and improvements have been included.
Almost all issues without postage rates that indicate the mode of transport instead have enjoyed price increases, some of which are considerable. Since even the older issues among them are still valid, the increases in postage rates naturally boosted their value, too.
This edition contains all novelties presented in MICHEL Rundschau up to and including No. 9/2020. A subscription to MICHEL Rundschau, starting with No. 10/2020, is recommended so as to keep updated and not miss any of the future issues.
The Editorial Team wants to thank all collectors, examiners and dealers who helped to make this edition a successful reference book by providing suggestions and active support.
We wish our readers many entertaining hours with philately and the new Michel Catalog Kanalinseln und Man 2020/2021 (E14).

Thanks to decades of experience and constant revision, the MICHEL catalogs are unmatched in terms of lay-out, comprehensiveness, accuracy and production. MICHEL catalogues provide all key information on stamps, postal stationary and coins. The systematic collection of data on collectable items, a well-organised system and detailed illustrations ensure easy use and a quick way to find required information. Each new edition of a MICHEL catalog is completely revised, updated and expanded so that it always reflects the latest situation on the market.
Users of the MICHEL catalogs value the comprehensive and detailed listings of collectable items. The MICHEL catalogs are among the best in the world when it comes to details, comprehensiveness and illustration. MICHEL products have been awarded well over 600 medals (including 31 gold), diplomas and honorary prizes in the course of the company’s history. The expertise of the Schwaneberger publishing house’s staff is outstandingly represented in the MICHEL catalogs.
The colourful, varied range of products includes standard and special-edition catalogues for Germany, Europe and overseas. There is also philatelic literature, the MICHEL-Exklusiv album, the MICHEL Colour Guide, the MICHEL-Lux examination lamp and the MICHEL-Rundschau monthly magazine. More than 85 different products in total.
MICHEL also enjoys a good reputation in electronic publishing thanks to various software programs, websites and e-catalogs. It is no wonder that the MICHEL catalogs have been known for years as the “philatelists’ bible”. However, bearing this accolade brings with it the responsibility of always remaining at the top with regard to quality.
The 669,000th MICHEL catalog number was issued recently. A look at the most important of the 85 different MICHEL catalogs reveals that the catalogues for Europe and overseas alone make up some 25,000 catalog pages. They contain 314,000 pictures and 1,800,000 price quotations. Most of this information is stored in powerful picture and text databases and is consulted, revised and corrected for each new edition of a MICHEL catalog. And of course that also applies to each individual page, irrespective of which MICHEL catalog it comes from. MICHEL goes to great lengths on its customers’ behalf. MICHEL’s editorial team spends an average of 45 minutes on research for each new set of stamps. Around 18,000 new stamps appear each year, which are then catalogued and published in the MICHEL-Rundschau, as well as in the relevant MICHEL catalog and online catalogue.
It is more than 100 years since the stamp dealer Hugo MICHEL from Apolda in Thüringen published the first MICHEL stamp catalogue in 1909. He thereby created a product that would be continually be improved, but never surpassed. In the same year, publisher and philatelic editor Hugo Schwaneberger founded a publishing company that bore his name. The philatelist, who was well known in his field, created the Schwaneberger Album, the first album to adopt a scientific approach.
Owing to the great demand for MICHEL catalog, Hugo MICHEL was no longer able to dedicate himself to his career as a stamp dealer. He therefore sold the rights to the publisher Schwaneberger. The catalogue, which had only covered Europe until that point, was expanded by the new publishing house to include overseas countries.
Hugo MICHEL continued to edit the catalogue supplement, which is today known as the MICHEL-Rundschau. The company was then bought by the publisher Eugen Berlin. He moved it to Munich in 1950 where he came across a company, the Carl Geber printing works (now the Gerber Satz und Gerber publishing house) that was able to draw up the complicated catalogue typesetting. The publishing rights went to the Hohenester/Gerber families who assigned them to the publishing house, now trading as the “Schwaneberger Verlag”.
At the turn of the century other stamp catalogues had already appeared, but the remarkable success of the MICHEL catalog was attributed to its sophisticated and comprehensive cataloguing system. The stamps were numbered successively from the first number for each country, yet at the same time organised according to various sub-categories and genres, and described as fully as possible. This system was refined over the years and adapted where necessary - but never had to be changed! In fact, the MICHEL numbering system has become standard in Germany. This is underscored by the numerous licence contracts that the Schwaneberger Verlag has concluded with other publishers. All stock lists of German dealers are organised according to the MICHEL numbering system. Collectors exchange, buy and sell using MICHEL numbers.
