Mystic Supplement Question

The only page my Heirloom album is missing is the the page in the airmail section that either follows or updates page c43 which is the 1999-2001 National Parks series. Can anyone tell me what supplement would come with the most up to date page that continues the series?

Thanks

My Mystic Heirloom album which I bought a year or so ago, has the back side of page C41/C42 titled "1999-2008 Airmails" and page C43/C44 has spaces of 12 of the National Parks Scenic American Landscapes Series of stamps, with the reverse side titled "2008 Airmails".

Page C45 then has spaces for another 12 stamps, with only the 94c (Scott C145) illustrated. Presumably you can continue the series by using the blank spaces or purchase annual supplements should you so desire.

That's the page I'm looking for but I'm wondering which supplement would have that page? I bought my album around 2000 and bought a few supplements and finished it up by buying the rest of the years from someone here who had the album but didn't collect modern. So I got his 2005-2008 pages or something like that. Just missed the airmail update though. I know they issued at least one new stamp in 2012 so maybe the 2012 supplement will have a new page

You can always call Mystic and they should be able to tell you what supplement you need. The "problem" with the Mystic pages is that the previous page also has to be updated because of two-sided printing of descriptions.

If time is not an issue, keep in mind that with the 2011 and 2012 stamps that were added to that Scenic American Landscapes Air Mail series -- and presumably a 2013 stamp as well (because of recently announced postal rate hikes), the titles for those pages will keep changing anyway, so if you buy supplements now they will already be outdated (at least the titles and illustrations will).

As I said earlier, my album includes up to Scott C145 (94c Trunk Bay) issued in 2008 with spaces for 11 more unannounced issues. Added since then are C146 (79c Zion NP) and C147 (98c Grand Teton NP) issued in 2009, C148 (80c Voyaguers NP) issued in 2011, C149 (85c Glacier NP) and C150 ($1.05 Lancaster County, PA) both issued in 2012 and presumably a yet-to-be-announced 2013 stamp for the new $1.10 international rate, however, as a new "Global Forever" stamp, it is as yet unclear if it will be part of that same series. In any case, there are enough spaces on the present album page to cover these issues, with a half dozen spaces left over for future additions.

I had already sent that question to Mystic along with another, the other got answered, the one about the supplement was ignored. I sent another message to them asking again....

Thanks for the info. I suppose I could just sit down on my lazy butt and make my own :)


I picked up the entire set on ebay (up to C150 anyway) last week and was wanting to put them in the album. My C43 page only has spaces for 8 of the stamps - through 2001

This is the way Page C43 is laid out in my Mystic album:



And Page C45 extends the series like this ... which makes it relatively easy to add new stamps to the series, even though the illustrations may not be there:

Still wondering what year they changed C43 to the page with 12 stamps on it. Mine only has 8. Mystic replied with a vague answer telling me that the 2012 supplement will have a new page but if they went to the 12 stamp format at some point, it still won't match up with what I have. Their supplements are only about 5 bucks so I don't mind buying a whole supplement just get the one page I need. This is frustrating but no where near as frustrating as this site timing out all the time especially after typing out a post and losing it

This is my page C43 (cropped for my website). So if they went to a 12 stamp format at some point, and then added C45, I'm gonna be missing 4 stamps if they only add to page C45 now

I can do a high res scan of the page for you, front and back, so you can print it out.

Thanks for the help guys but Mystic got back to me this morning and are sending me a complimentary page C43 with the 12 sections on it. I'll get C45 when I get the 2012 supplement.
