I have an empty black Scott stamp album from the 1950s I would like to sell. I have found 50 unaffixed stamps I wish to include with the sale. Should I sell the album as is, or try to find around 500 stamps to affix in the album to make it more attractive?

I'd sell the album as empty and show a picture of the loose stamps on the ebay listing. No point in messing about adding a relatively small number of probably common stamps. |

Yes, if it's already empty, I'd keep it that way. Someone might be specifically looking for an empty one. |

Just to add my $0.02 - I would prefer to purchase a completely blank album, then with 50 or so (as mentioned) likely common stamps. Place those loose stamps in a glassine envelope and include with the sale makes the best sense. |

I would definitely be interested in seeing what the empty album looks like and its overall condition. |

I have an empty Scott International part 1, from 1969.. I received in an auction lot. It is empty except for a maybe a hundred hinge remnants, and a few dozen remaining stamps. Found someone interested; then I had to withdraw from any deal, because TWO PAGES were missing- the first two pages of China listings. So, NOW what do I do with it? The pages, other than the few hinge remnants, are in excellent condition..nice, smooth edges, great shape,. I cannot bring myself to trash it...Shucks... |

I think about half the Scott Internationals I got off ebay back in the day were missing some pages somewhere. Sometimes disclosed, and sometimes I didn't find out until much later! Disclose what you can and if you have a couple blank pages include them. |

The amount of time it takes to add 500 stamps to an album is not worth the extra money you might get out of it. |
