How Do I Deal With New Canadian Issues?

I recently acquired full booklets of domestic Canadian self-adhesive stamps that are fairly recent. My question is what effective way can I remove these stamps from the booklet without it sticking to my stockbook? I rather trade or sell the others as there are too many so could anyone tell me how I could separate them?

Hence the problem with the self adhesives. You remove it from the sheet and it has to stick to something, which is exactly the reason I don't collect modern Stamps. It's too bad because I like some of the new releases, I just don't have the album space to store full sheets.

Some, I think, cut around them, but not all of the booklets are designed to allow this and the stamps are touching each other.

Some use the stamps around the one you wish to keep on mail or transfer to another backing and use the one left (MNH) as the one to cut around and keep.

Some (dealers) transfer stamps to a separate backing paper (from a another booklet used for mailing or a coil roll of backing used for mailings.

I am not sure of what other paper backing can be use.

Older booklets (1995) have some problems with the stamps loosing their adhesion properties (they won't completely stick anymore) when removed from the booklet, so one is almost force to collect the whole booklet or perhaps a half-booklet, if the booklet is made to rip apart easily.

Try using talcum power once the stamp is remove. This is working very well for me since I have been removing stamps from paper with mineral spirits. I have been doing this with on paper stamps for awhile now. Put the talcum power in a large lid and then press the stamp in power.

Test first with a definitive stamp first. Hope this helps.

Thank you all for your suggestions! I'll certainly try the talcum powder idea as well as trying to transfer them back to another sheet (if possible).

Who knows what the gum will do to the stamps
over time. I would soak the one I wanted and
get rid of the gum. The stamp will look just
the same.

I shall take the liberty of strongly disagreeing as to "The stamp will look just the same" after having been soaked. In very many cases self adhesives get badly affected, if not utterly ruined (a lot of British ones do for sure). So why won't you first try some faulty ones to see for yourself what happens.

If you do, it will be nice to hear back about how it went.
