I posted here years ago but was not much traffic. I am 53 and I have been collecting stamps since I was 12. I stopped during my teen years and picked it back up later. I looked at my old album and threw it in the trash. All the stamps were damaged. As a young kid, instead of buying mounts, I used scotch tape like mounts which soaked into the stamps. I started collecting USA stamps heavily while I collected Scott International album supplements. It took 7 years to get all the supplements up 1992. I sat down and spent two weeks resorting the pages to alpha order from year order. The stack of pages was 5'7" high when done. I put them into 37 Scott International albums. The early Scott album pages were really short in the varieties and missing many stamps so I started making my own pages for the early years. I use Albumgen to make my pages.

Welcome Jax.

Sounds like you have been a buzy bee with those Scott International albums. That's a tall task!

SCF is a pretty active place. Please join in the many discussions on going.
