No, no don't get me wrong. I meant like they do in France. Even men kiss on the cheek. Thank you I greatly appreciate your preceding post about your sorting method. Daniel

Koen,
Put them in a stockbook rather than an album and then you can 're-sort' them to your hearts desire.

When I'm ready to put stamps into a stockbook I usually sort them by year and Scott number.
In general I follow the Scott country pages so after all regular issues are done it's time for
other issues again by year and Scott number.

This might help no matter how you sort.

I use some Rubbermaid plastic organizers that have lids and about 20+ slots to sort (they look like tackle boxes). I get them at walmart for less than $4.

It helps because I usually do not finish sorting in one sitting, so I can simply close the lid and throw them on the shelf and finish later.

Forgot to mention that the bins that I use are clear so I can see what is in them without having to open them.

These bins help because I have a lot of kids. I wish I had a nickel for everytime I left a room for 5 min and come back and the stamps that I was sorting are blowing around the room like confetti.

In what department do you find these organizers? I have similar boxes I got at The Container Store that I use to sort my stamps.

Sometimes, I wish I could get something like an old typecase to sort stamps.

In my local store they are in the hardware section mixed in with the nut and bolt assortments.
