Show Us Your Completed Album Pages!

Bumping this thread featuring so many nice pages.
Just completed my F grills of the US 1867 series with a nice #94 which made me quite happy.

With apologies for cluttering my pages with notes re certificates and such.

Just a side note ......because this drives me crazy when looking at other people's collection .

If you have two or more of the same stamp on a page ,can you please add a note in pencil or explain yourself ,is it a shade difference {most of the time scanners don't pick up the shade variety} or a perf. difference {with size } or a watermark difference .Please let us know why you mounted them that way and not just a place to keep your duplicates. Thanks .

That's a great looking page I2y! That 1973 stamp issue resonates with me also. My dad was a mailman and I was just a boy when these came out. He always brought the new stamps home for me, and I remember this set with all the postal workers as if it came out yesterday. Thanks for the memories!

12y: Great layout page for that issue. I worked for the USPS from 7/7/73 - 5/30/2011. I retired as a Facilities Engineer but in the early years I was a SC#1492, SC#1494, SC#1495, and a SC#1496. I was also a Data Collector, Postal Operations Analyst, Supervisor Boston Registry, Buildings Management Specialist, Facilities Specialist, Facilities Engineer. I worked in the Boson MSC, Boston District, Northeast Area Office, Headquarters. Great Page & that issue also holds a central point in my US collection.

Congratulations, that is one nice page of grills !
Grills are really tough to get in quality. If they are all sound, that is a page to take pride in. Centering and color look great!

angore,
Nice page. First stamp in third row is inverted. I assume you are checking if we are awake.

I actually completed this page in September of 2020, almost 2 years ago. To this day, whenever I page through my album, I spend a minute or three on this page. One would think that the $1 denomination would be the most difficult to find. While it was the penultimate issue (December of 2019), finding the 15-cent stamp proved to take the longest. This was in part due to the condition of the stamp for which I was looking ... previously hinged (to keep the cost down) & well centered ... and luck of the draw.

JLLebbert, very nice page. I love the images on the parcel post issue. Imagine the beauty of the set had it been bicolor with red framing and black vignettes!

Germania - Sure..Corrected. Thanks for noticing.

JLLebbert, truly a lovely set to be proud of and a classic counterpoint to the 1973 Postal Employees.

Thinkstamp - thank you. All sound. Trying to get decent color and at least somewhat face-free cancels takes time and a few shekels.

Page completed.

Custom page for Mystic U.S. Heirloom album for the ignored booklet panes and singles of early US. Scott does not assign a catalog number for a booklet single so no space allotted in commercial albums,

Really nice Angore. I find myself making a few of these for my Heirloom Album too for various things that don't fit their model. How are you producing these? I've been using Album Easy and after I got everything figured out to match the original pages, they come out quite well.

The booklet page was created in Scribus, an open source program. but it could just be done in AlbumEasy as well.

If you know the Heirloom album there is printing on back side on every page so I will scan it and replicate it so there is no interruption in information. I had to redo some of the back pages since I modified the content on the album page.
