On the Linn's News website ,they wrote a piece about Stan Cornyn &Murray Geller attempt to fill 11 volumes of the Scott Internationals . They wrote a few sentances about it and included a link to click to go forward to read the APS article .

When I click the link it takes me to a APS section called "Articles of Distinction " but it looks like that article was removed from the list and more current articles have been posted there .

Is it possible to keep that article active to be read .

I believe this is the article on the APS:
https://stamps.org/Portals/0/Articl..._Jan2011.pdf

Some of the material is taken from an article in the Washington Post:

It has changed incredibly! In 1978, they were talking about 11 Scott International Albums** as covering the world, and 195,000 stamps ... just the scope of what you would have to cover now is so much more. It looks like Scott Supplements are up to 59A for 2023 right now. How much would it be to just buy the albums and binders and how many bookcases just for that?

And then the stamps ... what a great thing to think about how to go about it all.

** I think they ended up with 29 physical albums because as they filled them up, they had to expand into more binders.
