I put togehter my first stock book over the weekend. I bought the manila stock pages and had an older binder that I placed them in.
I want to place my better seconds along with oldest stamps in it.

Who uses stock books and what type or types do you use? Do you feel there is an advantage to using a stock book?

I use stock books for my duplicates but I use the pre made stock books with glassine sleeves. I think the cardboard ones can be rough on the stamps, My stock books also have glassine interleaves or sheets between the pages to help protect that stamps

Rick, those are nice stock books! I wish I could sell my duplicates and not need stockbooks

I use stock books to store and organise stamps that I am working on. For example, you sometimes need a dozen or so of a given stamp to sort out the shades.

I also keep stamps in a stockbook once I identify the stamp. Then, it stays there until I write it up and mount it in an album.

I use the same stock books as Rick, I find them available at stamp shows. I pick up 16 page used ones for 5-8 bucks, and like David, I use them as a staging area for sets to be entered onto my album pages, with a small write-up.

I use the "Supersafe brand" of stockbooks similar to what rlorenz uses. It really helped me to organize my stamps until I was ready to move into albums.

OK, I'll be a little different.

I don't use stockbooks/pages for anything except holding material I intend to put into my albums when the pages become available. I use the 104BK stock cards, and boxes, to hold my duplicates.

I don't have a $1M collection like Bob, but I do have so many German duplicates that I could never afford to keep them in stock pages and binders.
