Minkus Supreme Global Albums (The Big Red Thread)

Thank you floortrader and statesmanstamper; well said. To each their own. After having started out with Harris moving through a couple iterations I landed on Minkus. I like the stamps sorted by their issue date.

That said I have a National for US, Davo for Canada, Scott Spec for Germany, homemade for Hungary, and a Windsor Sovereign for GB.

I'm happy with each of the various brands and can appreciate both their qualities and their deficiencies.

The Binders I bought that I discovered on this forum cause me to repunch the black Vario stock sheets. They tend to bind or maybe the rings need a little Vaseline. (HA!) I have the Minkus pages, the Minkus binders, a lot of stamps but not much time. I prefer the old Minkus binders that are round rather than the new flat ones. I wonder if the flat binders are as tough as the old ones?
Are the pages sold by Nolo original Minkus or reprints on similar paper stock? Just before I discovered the 10 Supremes at a local stamp shop I considered buying a new set of pages but I saved some $ and didn't have to wait for delivery.
