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.
