Best Places To Look For Stock Albums

Hi guys, this may have been discussed many times before, but i'm looking to purchase some more stock albums and am wondering what the best sources are? ebay has an average of $30 from what I've seen,..but if anyone has preferences (or any places with good deals) they'd like to share, I would appreciate it at always :) ~Ash

It always depends on what type of stockbook you want, more than anything else.

I like 9x12, nine clear strips on black pages, glassine interleaves. I also like to buy in quantity. So I usually wait for Subway (the stamp store, not the sandwich shop) to have their clearance/2nds sale and buy about 10-20 stockbooks at a time. My last batch were 48-page stockbooks that cost me on average <$20 each (including S&H in the US across the Mississippi River). I've yet to see any faults in these stockbooks that would not have occurred after a couple of weeks of use (by me). Most of the time, I see no faults at all. But I'm not that picky, other than wanting that particular stockbook style. I have about 30 of them in various colors, and have not encountered any problems that I would not have run into if I had bought them at regular retail. Which is why I continue to buy them as clearance/2nds. They are usually G&K branded, but are sometimes generic German/Dutch manufactured. But, they all look the same because they were intended to meet G&K specs.

Just my thoughts/opinion.

Ash have you checked at you local Stamp Dealer. They range in condition and sometime you can pick them up with stamps in side as well.

This is just a thought as I don't know if you are wanting new or used albums.
