 Glad to have you here to join the forum. Enjoy your stay. The largest stamp in the world will not fit in any album, is located somewhere in Oregon, USA, as I recall. The size of a small billboard. Albums, there are few I've personal not bought one in awhile someone else here will be able to give you better information. Good collecting! Mike |

To avoid confusion, my stamps shown are not postally used. I only meant to say that there are used examples of these stamps. They were issued in Dec of 1984. Marty |
