I do appreciate everyone's comments. I am also glad to hear mobilman44 found another album binder. Stamp collecting has many facets that make it good for anyone that has a desire to collect, that is what has held me all these years. I still collect US but my real passion is world wide. I'd mention a few countries I prefer, but that is difficult, I'm not even sure if I could mention the countries I don't. As time goes by interests change.

flyinlo, love the stamp room too! Looks very organized and I have the plastic box situation too that seems to grow. I use a mix of Minkus, Scott International and Harris pages. If I could choose the best pages it would be Minkus Supreme pages. They were hard enough to find that I slowly switched over to the Scott International Pages. Minkus Supreme Globals have better coverage with counties like Mongolia representated. How many different stamps do you think you have?

mobilman44, I use two binders for Part 1 of Big Blue, although I do have the thinner papes from the 1969 edition with crystal clear interleaving.

landoquakes,

In the last few years I have started preparing my own Minkus size pages. It does take a little time but it's not bad. I like to think I have it down to a science, although I prove to myself I don't constantly. I also like making my own because I like to collect odd size stamps, with margins attached, that usually don't fit the stock type pages. Also I collect full sheets and souvenir sheets which are almost never on the stock type pages. Lastly, I think the self prepared sheets are nicer looking as I can add the captions of my choice and the Scott numbers. My Mongolia collection is a little thin and hasn't been updated in a few years.

As far as number of stamps.....no clue.
