Hey
A friend just gave me like a dozen first day covers to start my covers collection. I looked for an album for covers, but didn't find one. What do you do for display / mounting. THinking a simple hinge in both upper corners, but also thought maybe those triangular mounts like you used to mount pictures back in the day.
Really want to mount for display, they are to cool.
You help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Jay

A First Day cover album is not expensive. Are you anywhere near a Stamp or accessories shop ? Any fairs/shows in the area to pick up a second hand one cheaply ??

I use Vario 2S pages, with black backing and clear pockets to display my covers.

You can make your own album pages by slitting card stock pages to insert the cover corners whic works quite well for display and you can still get corner mounts from subway but they aren't inexpensive. Cover albums are readily available and inexpensive. Also you can use protectors and organize them in storage boxes but, of course, they do not display well in that manner.
