Mounts - And Getting Album Pages Flat

thomasdriver57,

I really try to purchase mint stamps which are already hinged. Its also cheaper that way.

Just an update. I have started mounting my Belgium stamps on the 65lb paper. I really like the look and feel of the paper so I think I'll use it for all my stamps. I'll only print them as I need them but I have decided this is the way I want my collection to look.

Now for my next decision. What binders to use. I've been using the heavy duty Wal-Mart D-rings cause I wanted to put my money in the stamps instead of 50 or 60 dollar binders. Now I think I'd rather have a better binder. Any suggestions?

Are you printing on A4, or a US equivalent? You could try Lighthouse Grande

Heavy when full!

I was disappointed at first when I found out they were 4 ring binders but found one on ebay and the more I think about it I think 4 hole is the way to go. much more robust than the US standard 3 hole.
Thank you very much GeoffHa. I'm going to order one binder and the 4 hole punch and see if I like it. From the pictures the binders are absolutely beautiful and will really enhance the beauty of my collection.

I like them, and they do look good on the bookshelf. The Gigant version is even wider - I probably couldn't lift that!

I ordered one of the standard grande's can't wait to get it. If I like it I'll probably get one of the Gigant versions to see if I like it. Thank you for your advice GeoffHa.
