Blank Hingeless Pages ?

Hi Guys!

I've decided to collect fancy cancels, and would like to mount them on black, blank, hingeless pages. Can't seem to find them in a book or loose. (Tried ebay, Amos, and Mystic.) Does such an album exist? Or am I stuck with stock pages?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Zipper
I would use Lighthouse Vario stock page for your fancy cancels collection. They can fit in any 3 rings binders. Dealers have them here in Montreal so I don't even have to shop the internet when I need them. Daniel

A Related Question ... Are there any Vario-like pages which permit the insertion of an 8.5x11 page behind the pockets to provide an album like appearance? Two sided would be best.

Although I have no experience with these myself, this was posted recently on SCF. Not sure if they are available in black, though you can certainly check with the manufacturer:

Do an SCF search (top of page) for VARIO and you'll find a couple of reputable dealers with reasonable prices.

wt1 ... I had seen that post and it is almost, but not quite, what I was hoping to find. Those are album pages with plastic pocket overlays attached. I'm looking for a Vario like system with a pocket which permits the insertion of 8.5x11 pages behind the stamp holder areas.

Cal516, I can't say it doesn't exist, but I haven't seen what you are looking for.

Depending on your goals, you could take a look at the Prinz-Plus system, which is a Vario-type stock page with additional small "text pockets" for labels, above each row.

You could also buy black stock card acid free from a scrapbook sulply house and use clear mounts

Hi Guys!

This was the closest book I found to what I want:

I'd like something similar to a scrapbook or photo album, but I guess I'll make do with stock pages.

Thanks.

Zipper -- I have purchased from that seller and have always been happy with the prices and the transactions.

Thanks, Kirk. I appreciate your recommendation.

timbres667, I decided that I might as well get the complete set. That way I won't confuse them with the stack of binders I have filled with fiction writing.

Before investing too much in black pages, you might want to try both black and white and compare. Reason for this - Most fancy cancels are black on a colored stamp. If you surround this with a lot of black background, it may be harder to discern the cancellation. White background would likely make the cancellations stand out more.

Likewise, if you have a stamp with a partial strike, you can mount it in a clear mount over a tracing of the full strike to "fill in the missing pieces."

Just a suggestion. Do whatever would make you the happiest.

Edited to add a bit more:

Stanley Gibbons has black quadrilled sheets in their Nubian album:

You might be able to get it in the US from Regency Stamps in St. Louis, who distribute the Gibbons products. However, these aren't hingeless - you'll have to use mounts or hinges on them.

Also, here's an example I made up of what I meant by mounting a stamp over the tracing (done really quickly from stuff on the web)
