Basic Album Selection

Kirk,
I have a used empty Harris album, lots of Scott pages I pulled from the Scott albums to install
Mystic pages with stamps mounted. I know it isn't a full set though, I used some Scott
pages to supplement other areas of my 'stuff'. Then I have extra Scott pages that I really
haven't paid attention to, in a box. I just checked to make sure they were empty. I have
many very old Scott albums, but some are rough from what I can tell. I also have a complete
Scott album with stamps that is called a "plate number coil" collecton. It isn't totally
full, but has plenty of stamps. I am not at all interested in. It's alot of modern repetition
to me. ??? Have bundles of manilla stock pages (new), and a stock book or two that I will never
use. It's just a hodge podge of stuff that is too good to trash, but too much/heavy to ship.

Oh, and now I have several empty Mystic albums...
I think I got 6 Mystics emptied into 4 of the big green Scotts.
I have more Mystics that still have stuff in them, but it's odds and ends like FDCs and such.

Edit: Yeah, I agree that just about anything has thicker paper
than the Harris... The one I have anyway.

Nice collection of albums their, ratio411. I have 6 White Ace for my US collection, 5 Seven Seas albums for my Australia collection, 1 Voyager for Papua New Guinea, 1 Voyager for Germany and 20 stock books for (other) 5 cover albums. 3 Harris, empty, wish I could get rid of and a bunch of other stuff. WOW, I need to clean house.

What is/was the Mystic Heritage album? I only see the Heirloom on their site now.

I don't know what the difference is, but mine say 'Heritage'.

Wow. Google IS your friend!

What is the difference between The Heritage collection and the American Heirloom Collection?
The Heritage Collection is a single volume fully illustrated album that features U.S. Commemorative stamps only from 1935-present.

The Heirloom Collection is a three volume fully illustrated album that features both U.S. Commemorative and Definitive stamps form 1847-present. The album also features supplements for Airmail, Semi Postal, Special Delivery, Registration, Certified, Postage Due, Parcel Post, Parcel Post Due, Special Handling, and Confederate stamps.

With the Heirloom Collection on sale for $39 now, and the Heritage Collection costing $40, I don't see why you wouldn't buy the more complete Heirloom.

Mystic is famous for their monthly subscription service. I remember them offering monthly US Commemorative stamps by mail with free mounts, and a free Heritage Album. I never signed up for it, since their stamps tend to be overpriced.

Mystic tend to offer reasonably priced supplies, cheap albums, and overpriced stamps. But their customer service is outstanding. At least it has been for me.
