Digital Album - Presenting Stamps On Digital Album Pages

Ok tonight I found the missing element that will push me to go digital. Michael have a focus with the DC, I don't until I received my Hungarian catalogue. This country have so much to offer, stuff not always know, so I'm gone make first an Hungarian specialized website . I can wait to order some of their revenue stamps. To help me pages will have Hungarian name and title with English tanslation in small caracters under. Since this collection will be very dynamic it can be only digital. Get ready for some chock I will fallow the Hungarian catalog . News stamps , telegraph are mix with other . Actually the bob is stuff we don't see in regular country album like revenue

If your interested in Australian or Australian Territory stamps at all, this site produces puts together digital albums that are 100% complete. Uberstamp.com.au

What is the fair price for a digital stamp album? Lets say one of 30 pages covering 100 issues and 300 to 400 individual stamp images?

Difficult to say, not much. The 'Steiner pages' can easily be transformed for digital pages, will cost you only $40 for more or less the entire WW....
Depends largely on the design, level of detail, varieties covered, and personal taste not least.

As an example my own digital pages are custom made for my personal preferences, and I don't expect anyone to be willing to pay for them at all!

David , I am not clear about your comment "individual stamp images " most collectors don't have images in their digital stamp albums , like me most have just a square printed on the page for placement .

I guess what i'm trying to say is; a digital stamp album that is 100% complete for the period and country that it represents with high or ultra high quality mint images must have a commercial value I would have a thought. I mean if you are collecting stamps for the beauty and the educational value of the stamp, it would make more sense to buy a digital album that is complete for a few bucks then spend 100's maybe 1000's of dollars and a lot of time trying to assemble the real equivalent. And a digital album presents to much more information on each issue and each stamp that a real collection does not. Things like date of issue, name(s) of the designer, engraver(s), printing company, perforations, physical size, written detail about what each stamp is about. I know you can get pages with digital images stuck on pages but they are from what I have seen fairly low in resolution quality and don't provide much additional educational info. But what would you pay for an album that is high quality and gives all the extras?

$0. I collect stamps, not pictures of stamps.

Looking at Uberstamps price list - $200 for mainland Australian pages. Way too dear.... If the price included the pages printed on high archive quality paper, with mounts, pre-drilled, shipped to your door, then you might have an 'album product'.

Like postmasterGS said, pretty pictures of stamps are not worth much (even if high res). Right now I see your product more of a 'simplified digital catalog' than 'stamp album'. As is the commercial value is IMHO pretty low. Would need tons of specialized detail to be worth $200.

I'm with Postmaster - seeing a picture of someone else's stamp on a screen is fun - see the stamps that people scan here - but I wouldn't pay for it.

The aspect I would be interested in would be a reference collection of hi rez images to use for study when trying to identify stamps. They have to be organized for study.

Stampworld is organized in a logical manner but the image are not good for what I would want to see.

I would pay a minimal subscription sum for access to an extensive online photo database of forgeries, with notes a la Tyler. That would save looking at a multitude of references. Someone else's collection? No.

I looked up the Uberstamps site. I don't understand it, I cannot pull up any images of the pages or find prices. Have they suspended business or something? Strange.

Stamps1962,

Their price lists are under "Digital Stamp Albums" and "Virtual Stamps" on the menu.

As to being able to pull up images, I suspect it's because that's what they're selling -- images of album pages filled with images of stamps.

I just realized that I have reached two key milestones this month.

First - I have been creating and publishing digital stamp albums for my collections for SEVEN YEARS!!!!! (I believe my first few were completed and published on Mar 11, 2011.)

Second - Last week I created and published my 200th Album. (Georgia SSR)

What started off as a way of helping me organize my dead country collection, has now grown beyond my wildest imagination. 200 albums, more than 700 total pages.

To celebrate, I will post a few select pages from my albums over the next few days. However you can see them all at DCStamps. http://www.dcstamps.com/dcstamps-albums/

Here is a page from one of my very early albums - Newfoundland.
It's a fairly rudimentary album. The spacing is not quite even, I see that the stamps aren't in order, plus the title for the first set "Codfish and Other Designs" does seem a little awkward. I guess this means I need to go back and tidy a few things up on these older albums.

Enjoy
Michael

@Michael - Congratulations on your milestones. Good to see you back in stamping-action again. Your NFLD page is absolutely stunning, well done
