I have about 75 to 80 different stamps from the 1970's to early 1990's, all in double strips like the one below. they came in the lot that I talk about in my introduction. The question I have is:

Is this a normal way to collect or should I break out the various different type plate blocks and use the rest as postage?

It all depends on how you wish to collect them. Plate blocks are easier to store and mount in pages. If you leave them as is you could use a stock book, loose stock pages that have lots of size options, or possibly a mint sheet album.

IMHO, you should keep them as is. As "The Dude" said, you can keep them in stockbook pages in a regular binder if nothing else.

Swabbie,
I like the my new moniker "The Dude". Just like Jeff Bridges in The Big Lebowski.

I agree with Greg and "the Dude" I would leave them intact The way they are. You should have no trouble finding a stock book to keep them in.
