How Many Binders Does Your Collection Span?

Back in 2013, I said I had 23 Lighthouse binders - now up to 51 for my main collection; plus about 20 more for duplicates and I haven't really managed to reduce the stack of containers full of duplicates and unprocessed material.

I have eight so far.

1 album for pre-decimal and up to 1966 Australia (1850-1966)
1 album from 1967-1985 Australia Pt 1 (full)
1 album from 1985-2018 Australia Pt 2
1 album for major errors and varieties.
1 album for researching ½d Kangaroos currently holding 3½ thousand ½d Kangaroos including many various block sizes, half-sheets and full sheets and a coil sheet of 640 (large size album with A3 pages, had to fold the 640 stamp sheet in half to fit an A3)
1 small album housing all stamp authentication certificates.
1 album for New Zealand for scarce to rare issues
1 album for selected world stamps (includes scarce and rare Great Britain issues)
1 album for WWII occupation stamps

And a mini library focusing on Australian and New Zealand stamps.

Careful Rob041256, the question was how many binders you have. When I went to school your list would have amounted to NINE, not eight,

You're right

Though I have 24-28 different sizes Binders,12 Special stocks book each
book 120 Page. & Albums 50 Pages full.
than still rest of stamps are in 4 suite bags each weighing 70 Lbs.

I do know when I will be able to finish arranging. Started collecting
in 1953 age of 13-14.

I'm up to about 100 or so now. How in the world did that happen? Please don't tell my wife.

12 - Spain
5 - Germany (RF/RDA/Reich/Berlin....)
3 - Hungary, Poland, FDC an diverse (twelve in total)
2 - Switzerland, horoscopes (four in total)
1 - Bulgaria, Argentine, Italy, Spanish Andorra, Slania, motorcycles, shields. (Seven in total)

Though they add 40, actually I have 52, but I do not remember what I have in others

I am lagging behind most of you. I have 1 4 inch binder (world wide), a 2 inch binder (mostly united states), and 5 binders of first day covers. Attached is a picture of whats waiting to be put into binders.

Ireland, you're doing fine. There are times I almost wish I had only that amount left to sort (just kidding; what am I thinking?).

To put it in perspective, I have fourteen collections purchased to breakdown, sort through and then decide what fits my collection - about 100,000 stamps and covers total.

Did I mention I only collection U.S.?

Stapman2002,

I have been working on that off and on for 2 years to get. It to that. Does. Not include what I gave away. Some will be alot of work, cause if requires soaking off paper.

I have two Scott National binders for my collection:

1 - 1847 - 1965 regular postage, air mails, postage due, registration/certified, parcel post/special handling/parcel postage due, officials, offices abroad, newspaper/periodical
2 - envelopes, revenues, confederates, postmaster provisional relocated from front of 1, plus possessions pages from an old 1944 National album

Well, let's see...

4 Mystic American Heirloom Hingeless US
8 Minkus Global Master WW
1 Harris Canada
1 Lighthouse German Third Reich
1 Palo Hingeless Rhodesia
2 Palo Hingeless British Virgin Islands
1 Palo Hingeless British Solomon Islands with Palo hingeless pages for Hawaii and Canal Zone
2 Davo Hingeless French Polynesia
1 Davo Hingeless Iceland
11 Lindner 32 and 64 page stockbooks

Plus many, many boxes (don't know exactly how many) filled with glassines and loose accumulations in zip lock bags. So, I guess I have 32 albums. This will probably soon increase by 2-3 as I'm contemplating replacing the Harris Canada with Palo or Davo hingeless albums. I know that it seems strange to have Hawaii and Canal Zone in a British Solomon Islands binder but there aren't many BSI pages and there was plenty of room left in the binder. There is still quite a bit of room left.

1 - 3" binder for US through 2000
1 - Scott's International 1930 album
1 - 2" binder for special interests
1 - 2" binder with blank pages
1 - 3" binder for stock sheets
2 - small binders for Machins
2 - stock books
Will be combining the 2 2" binders into 1 3". Trying to simplify and ride herd on my mess that I refer to as a stamp collection.

I have:
7 volumes of Great Britain, all in Schaubek Brillant hingeless pages
the first two volumes of the Scott international series 1840-1940 and 1941-1950
2 volumes of Denmark on home made pages
2 volumes of France on French pages
1 volume of Switzerland
2 volumes of Australia
2 volumes of my Art Deco collection: one for conventional stamps, cachets, cancellations and covers, and one for Art Deco Cinderellas
2 volumes of a very rudimentary US collection which I inherited and which I've done nothing to increase
a binder with about 40 US FDC's that someone gave to me, and
5 binders of the envelopes (probably close to 500) in which I've received the stamps and covers that I've purchased on line, mostly from ebay. Two whole binders are just from dealers in the UK, and they always use nice stamps on their mail. Likewise US dealers who often put souvenir sheets on their outgoing mail, and sometimes commems as much as 80 years old. The other day I received a Priority Mail envelope with a $2 Jenny on it. Then I have several boxes of glassines of duplicates

I guess I have about 50 stockbooks (32 or 64 page) of stamps.
My real problem is the huge backlog of unsorted stamps -- I guess I have about 40 shoe-box equivalents of stamps in envelopes, waiting to be sorted.
