hi all

You guys gave me a bunch of stamps. Thanks alot :D
Now after going to the flea market I got 2 albums for 17 euro
One got 60 pages
One is a small one with around 10
I aready got 2 abums both 16 pages

Now whats the best way to sort them? Any idea? Especially for the 60 page book
I got around 800 stamps noe if I got to guess

P.s I collect all stamps if possible as many as I can get. Mostly Deutsches reich (Im normal dont worry)

Also I collect from different continents - So how should I work that out?

I usually do it by continent and then by country. Another way is to put a country's colonies after the country itself.

I buy "starter / beginner Lots" 1000's of jumbled stamps.
Sometimes suitcases of stamps.

1 box I have larger yellow envelopes marked A-Z
drop in the stamps to suit.

Then if I am working on say "Guadaloupe" I tip out envelope "G"

The best system I have ever found, for speed.

PS: Mint stamps, place them in an glassine first, to protect delicate teeth.

I prefer to buy mint year sets for anything above 1958.
For the early starter stuff, I like to buy single country lots on pages. Then if you need the pages, you can just fill the holes.
I am not much for buying mixed lots.
