The Community 21st Century US Postage Stamp Album

They are nice pages, but consistency is important.

For example, did you intentionally use different fonts for the 2002 pages versus those used on the 2001 pages?

Also, on the 2002 pages, the stamps for "Winter Sports" uses a 2001 date rather than 2002.

Winter sports does have the date wrong. The font is the same. I changed the font on the final release of the 2001 pages based on feedback I got from other sources.

Here's a 2001 page from the final product, so you can see the font was changed prior to final release:

Those are very well done. Great Job!

Thank you!

WOW, Can't believe I missed this thread. Those pages look awesome!

Great job!

I am missing quite a number of mid 2000s stamps, so I may be asking for donations and/or photocopies in order to help complete pages. All requests will be made in the appropriate forums, so as not to illicit the wrath of the mods. :-)

Ok, so I think I am done the 2002 Commemoratives. Just need to do the Specials and Definitives. Time for feedback!

NOTE: The pages assume you're going to keep the Greeting from America sheets connected and in another album that can fit those sheets. I provide a full color page for the Greetings from America page.

And here is what I have so far:



















Any and all criticism welcome. The phrase "The pages suck" should be followed by the word "because" and a reasonable explanation.

Ok, after way too much tweaking, and a last minute forgotten stamp I finally finished the Community 2002 US Stamp Album Supplement.

Some Notable Things:

Greetings from America Stamps

As you are probably aware, the USPS released the Greetings from America sheets in 2002, in both 34 cent and 37 cent varieties. We have a whole fifty stamp sheet se-tenant.

One of my goals when making this album was to keep se-tenants together. So, what I did was make a page with a high res color picture of the whole sheet along with the title, date of issue and description. On the bottom of the page is a fillable form where you can type in where the stamps are.

So, others did not agree with what I wanted to do with the Greetings from America stamps. To keep everyone happy, and to reach the largest audience possible, I made pages with 50 individual boxes, along with a master title and description, so you can mount the individual stamps. I didn't include the pictures on these pages. If you want to edit the file yourself and add pictures, feel free to send me back your work and I will happily edit the original and repost with your additions.iu

File Size

Yes, the file size is pretty darn big. That's because of the high resolution scans of the Greetings from America stamps.

Catalog Numbers

You may notice the screen shots have Scott catalog numbers. Well, as useful as they are, I am not legally allowed to distribute pages with Scott catalog numbers. So, I had to hide them. Check out a previous post on my site to learn how I did this.
