Slightly off topic, but maybe someone can help. All my stamps are mounted with Hawid mounts for protection. I collect stamps with a printing theme. I have recently purchased some 'newspaper wrappers' which were intended to wrap around a newspaper for cheap postage in days past. The postage was printed on the wrapper to do away with using a stamp. The wrappers are usually around 4.5" or 6" by 10.5" or 12" and I would like to mount them somehow. Does anyone do mounts this size or similar?

One of the cheapest places to get mounts: http://globalstamps.com . They show every mount size possible and shipping can be free!

I mount all my covers, including newspaper wrappers on pages I make for them with pertinent information, using clear photo corners. The are acid free, and since they are clear you can see all of the item.

Thanks, I will probably go with the vario pages. With the mounts I use for my stamps the stamp is protected front and back by the mount - I am using photo corners for my wrappers (as jamesw) but the wrapper is in contact with the plastic sleeve (Poly Punched Pocket Document Paper Filing Sleeves) and the sheet of paper it is mounted on. By using the vario pages the wrapper should be okay. Although not worth a great deal it would be a shame if I somehow messed them up.
