Posted in gratitude, of the Stamp Collectors out there, that refuse to take home PLASTIC shopping bags, bury all our kitchen scraps in the Garden, and tend to our immediate world, in the best way we can, but not perfect.
Great to see you with your stamps. They are not so easy to come by these days sadly. A sign of the times we live in.
You help so many people in stamping with your great attitude to newbie and well as to seasoned collector's.
Nice you can share your gift around with your others. You helped me so much with "Australian KGV Stamps explained". Its was so good that I will never forget that help.
I'll need to buy more archive pages when I work out how many ,Was thinking about housing them in plastic sleeves rather than punching holes everywhere.
Al, I am a Worldwide collector, prudent budgeting is a must. Ergo, what follows may, or may not alarm you.
Consideration: After years of buying "part collections" etc, It is common to see beautiful cardstock from previous albums, just cut out or ripped out and treated terribly.
Caveat, I now mount all my stamps in plastic mounts.
I print Steiner sheets on normal acid free Copy paper (Yes) 2,500 pages $14
I use Officeworks JB1B442WE (4 ring Binders) Binders $5.99 I use Officeworks Heavy Duty Plastic Sheet protectors $19.99 per 100
That will give you 200 pages of Album pages for about $28
I have no issue with slippage, pages can be slipped in and out in a trice, no plastic issues thus far (10 years)
I mount as I get stamps, this regime gives one the opportunity to mount say a page of Australia 2012 next to a page of 1977 if that is all you have,
You just print the Steiner Page as needed, slip into a Page Protector and into the Album.
My Albums / binders will accept around 53 - 60 protectors per Album (106-120 album pages) Without being overloaded.
They turn over beautifully, I have no problems.
If you "hinge" then the stamp is in contact with the plastic, your call.
A typical Page. (best I could get on the platen) Note: I f you choose heavy cardstock, you may only get 1 album page per protector, and cut your quantity per album in half.
