Very nice set of Parcel Posts JL. I have that set done as well, though not as nicely centered. The only upside is that I inherited the set, and it didn't cost me anything.  |

pcerio ... For years, I had a complete used set of these. Some (maybe most) had perfs that cut into the design. Eventually I chose to upgrade the set to unused, with emphasis placed on centering rather than gum condition. Still, the upgrade was neither cheap nor quick. Had I started with your set, I would never have chosen to upgrade. Congrats on inheriting a very good looking set of stamps. |

I'd like to get the 25¢, 50¢, and 80¢ issues unused at some point, and I'm not too wild about the imbalance of the $30 varieties, so I may have to find the other shade of the $50 issue.  |

Getting those black mounts in the boxes just right could not be easy. I'm impressed. |

I've enjoyed looking at these immensely, and, as a (fairly elderly) rookie, they do provide some ideas as to which way to head both in terms of collecting and arranging.
I am slightly surprised, though, that none of these pages feature 'writing up' using traditional hand writing, apart from one or two pencilled notes. I've actually purchased a couple of italic pens, and I'm currently practicing with a view to eventually going down this road.
Whether I'll ever produce a result which I dare post to this thread is another question entirely! |

Walkman - I am curious! Your pages have many different colors. Are the different colors just random from beginning to end, or do you 'color code' the different sections? Based on the spaces for the C10a booklet pane AND the C10a single, I am guessing that the pages are home made/designed. I like your border - bold, yet simple. Are they 8-1/2x11? And as erfoster noticed: those mounts fit exceptionally well in their printed boxes! |
