Scanning Stamps

kirk use fingers :)

Caveat: Tweezer case recomended.
Carrying them in one's breast pocket at stamp shows,
may give a new meaning to "pierced nipples"

I use a pair of "Made in Germany" spade ends, which are 20+ years old. I assume they're Prinz, even though they're not marked as such

I feel for your situation towards2112

I also use stooksheets and this has already been said many times already but I use them with the bottom clear strip on top for scanning it holds the stamps better and gives a clearer scan.

I do find dust an issue and I am cleaning the strips every time I use them before I put the stamps in so there is no chance to damage the stamps.At times the static from rubbing the strips clean will move the stamps. The stamps that protrude from the strips seem to scan alright. I can understand stiff joints. Hope it all works out. KGV

No, no! Never use fingers. Chopsticks is the answer.

I also work with a towel under my stamps it increases my stamp working time quite a great deal.KGV

I don't have any postits, but a trip to the drug store is in the
offing today. Great idea. My main problem is dexterity, or rather
the finesse. I can pinch a stamp, which of course will bow the stamp,
but I can no longer use tongs with any amount of finesse. I center
them on the scanner with the eraser end of a pencil. And it's not
as if I'm an invalid with my hands, my 75 year old father laughs
at me and tells me that the "old man" jokes will begin to appear
in a short while.
Now for some entertainment.
