Well,
The German section of my ww album is coming along. Just finished page 100 of my custom printed album pages for Germany/West Germany. Expect when done, Germany along with my East Germany section (35 pages worth) and German States (another 8 pages) will come in around 160 pages or so.
I really like doing custom printed pages, with a spot for each and every stamp, but wow, does it take time.
It will be interesting a few years down the road to see how many album pages it takes to do the entire collection, as well as how many stamps end up in my database.
At some point, I'll probably scan the pages and put them on my website along with all my photography stuff.
I haven't even begun to tackle Canada and the US, both of which have many more stamps. And with both of them, there will be a higher density of printed info about the stamps, so fewer stamps per page.
But, that's what a stamp collecting
Hobby is all about, a labor of Love, over many many years of enjoyment.
I'm always interested in how others have progressed with their albums, the stories (as well as a number of the scanned pages we've seen) is always very interesting. Not to mention the great ideas that come out.
Dave.
