Is there such a thing as an
over sized stock sheet.
Being the same width but 2
or 3 strips longer.
It would be a huge help in using the
full size ability of my flat bed scanner
with a single stock sheet.
At present I add a piece of stock sheet
to the bottom of a stock sheet with
stick tape to do the job.

A long shot but worth an ask. KGV

There are the Vario Grande pages which are 9.5 x 12.5 inches. They are not quite what you are describing, though.

Thanks smauggie!

Still have imperial on one side of my steel ruler.
I think you have answered my question.
It does sound like it will fit width and length of my scanner.
Nice to have the info before calling my suppliers.

Thanks again! KGV.

You could probably get them for just under $1US each (including shipping) on ebay.

Or you could make up your own stockcard - using a piece of card the same size as your scanner and then using hawid strips.

John,
I have an oversized stock sheet
but is made for a stamp pane
so is only 1 full page strip of Mylar plastic.
(so I presume any multiples of stamps
will jiggle and move around prior to scanning) :(

If it is helpful to uou, please advise
and I'll send it over free of charge.

Thanks for the offer Rod!
Have been able to get a hold of some XLarge and
it was nice to use smauggie's info.

Thanks Stamp Study for your info as well.

Have found the best answer to this question is the humble stock book.
32 images to a stock book.
A 64 paged stock book would be a nightmare to put in and out
of a flat bed scanner.
Using a stock book has other advantages as well.
It keeps the stamps safer with the interleaving and all
the pages being bound together. It is easier to keep your
stamps in some sort of order.

An excellent scanning tool and a cheap option to help with on-line scanning.
