Vintage Reproduction Albums

I am now 3-hole punching my Vintage Reproduction pages and putting them into these binders (I'm using blue colored ones however). Nice inexpensive binders with all the benefits of a loose-left album. I only put in pages that I have the stamps for (except for 3 or 4 countries), which helps to limit the shelf space and number of binders. This way, my albums will grow as my collection grows.

What brand name are these binders?

"We R Memory Keepers" I got them from JoAnn for about $16 each last year.



WE R MEMORY KEEPERS-Classic Faux-Leather Ring Binder Album. This beautiful D-Ring binder album is constructed from the finest quality materials. The cover is made of Italian style faux-leather and features stitch accenting around all the edges. It has silver metal corner guards and a 2-1/4x1-1/8 inch label frame on the spine which can be used for names, titles, quotes, or wallet sized photos. Inside are five 8-1/2x11 inch top-loading page protectors. Outer dimensions of the album are 11-3/4x11-1/4x2-3/4 inches. Available in a variety of colors (each sold separately).

They are nice and glad you like them, but they are cheaper at Amazon than on their website. Website now is $21 to $25. They are also only 1 1/2 in binders which I find too small. Not sure who JoAnn is.

I am still sticking with my Vario G which comes with slip cases

Jo-Ann is a chain of fabric and craft stores.

I don't think they have them in Canada, but I see they will ship here.

Yes, Vario-G binders are another good option as they are a bit thicker and come with a dust cover. I have a few of them too and have gone back and forth trying to figure out which one I like the best

Well I made an order for the full set yesterday, hopefully it will not be back order like last December . I will use Lighthouse springback binders to hold the pages

I finally take the plunge because I can keep trying to use the Scott Int. but too much additional pages have to be done and I really dislike the reflection of the protector sheet I'm using, glassine separators don't age well.

Actually I don't like the reflection on atamps mounts too, so I will hinges the stamps .

Of course I will have more empty space than a International, but in other hands the empty space are a need if we want to have a good representation of what was release by the countries. Aside Hungary, I don't care and don't want same stamps design but with different perforations or watermark, so the Brown replicate are perfect.


Here the binder, I know it will cost way more, but that's the price to pay to have a very atractive album and reliable binders. 3 rings is not an option and with spring back, not holes to tears. Beside, it will take years to transfer the stamps from International to this one, so the cost will be spread in time

I do like quality binders. To me it makes a difference. But how will you use spring back binders with Scott pages? Will you cut the five vertical slits on the binder margin so the pages lie flat?

I think there no need to cut slits, from what I can see the Subway pages are way thinner than Lighthouse, they should bent, and I will put the stamps I already have on the pages before insert them in the binders, so I don't really need to keep them flat.

Of course it's theoretical, I will see when I get the page, I do have an old springback binder for test.

I like springbacks, and I like Lighthouse. Wouldn't work for Scott pages, but I've recently been using these "made by Lighthouse" springbacks

I've also picked up quite a few "as new" Lighthouse binders in the "accessories" sections if auctions iver the years, at a small fraction of the retail price.

area66,

Look luck with the Brown Reproductions. I finally got the full set about 6 months ago, and I like them. I tried putting them into Scott International binders, but didn't like that so I decided to just 3-hole punch them and put into whatever binder I want. As I said, that way I can just include the pages that I have stamps for (which would be hard to do using spring-back binders).

I'll post some pics once I start to get some pages filled

! can't believe how they treat customers at Subway, 2 days and they have not yet downloaded my order from their website.

Unbelievable , they send me PDF of a letter dated July 2005,

I call and they said it's again a paper supply problem , that may be it will be available in a month

Just have patience. I got the same notice from Subway. They do this because they have to order the pages from a third-party printer. I got my pages in about 2-3 weeks.
