When I started collecting stamps, I started buying Lighthouse Vario pages for them and I really like them. Unfortunately, right now I have more stamps to be put away than I can afford new pages.

I was buying them on ebay, but I wanted to see if I could find a better deal somewhere else. So my question is, who has the best price (including shipping within the US) for Vario pages (or a decent knock off) in amounts around 25 pages? From the seller I usually order from, it's about $16 for 5 packs of 5 (sizes can be mixed).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Joseph,

Sorry, I don't have a good answer for ya.
I'm interested in the same thing though.
I need a pack of 25 6S (6 row) to put my W/W available for trade into.

Hope you get some good responses. Maybe someone on here has some extras available for you?

Happy Easter!

Dave N.

This may not be the cheapest, but at least it's from a reliable source. Twenty-five (25) pages would cost $19.75 (plus shipping) at $3.95 per pack of five:

I buy mine from Golden Valley Stamp in Minnesota - right now $3.71 a pack plus shipping. Great service and fast shipping.

I bought some Vario-like pages made by Showgard (Yes, the same ones who make the mounts) and I must say they were awful! I was looking around at our local Hobby Lobby store and found them so I thought I'd try them. I bought 2 packs of five pages. I forget how much they were but I believe they were comparable in price. Something in the $5 range I guess. Some of the clear plastic rows were not cut all the way through and in several places there were "inclusions" in the plastic that made it almost impossible to get the stamps in. Buy at your own risk. I guess it's possible I found the only 2 packs that were like this but....

Joseph,

I just found this on e-bay from the seller mentioned in the previous Stampcommunity topic links.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/25-NEW-Ligh...em417102e2fe

25 vario 6S pages plus a free 5 pack of the vario PLUS 8s.

Think I would like to get this deal.

When comparing prices, remember to make a distinction between Vario and Vario Plus pages -- the latter are a little thicker, stiffer.

I don't think you will find a better deal than Oldtriguy posts here for The Lighthouse pages.

Yes, it's the same person that I recommended MIT_63 is his store name. Several of us here have purchased from him with positive results, speedy shipping, etc.

For the record, I don't know him and will gain nothing from my recommendation.

I can confirm Kirk's comments. Bernie (Mit_63) has amazing deals and is very reliable. I have purchased no less than 1000 vario pages from him over the years, and never have issues. Even when his home was hit by the hurricane last year, and he was without power for more than a week, my order still made it to the post office right away.

I highly recommend him for all Lighthouse products.

I've bought from mit_63 with good results. However, on ebay firstamp is a bit cheaper and I've got no complaints about their speed. Priority mail is their standard shipping method. They also sell in larger lots and let you mix sizes. You can get the Vario pages for under 50c a page if you buy 10x5. I'm not sure they're Vario brand though. The listings sy they're made in Japan. But I haven't noticed a difference.
