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

WORLD'S LARGEST POSTAGE STAMP!

http://www.justalyce.com/stamp.htm

The ERR MAIL stamp can be viewed at Matthews Memory Lane Motors at the intersection of S.E. 26th and Holgate in Portland, Oregon.
Measuring a whopping 10 feet by 16 feet,
the WORLD'S LARGEST POSTAGE STAMP
went on display May 23, 1995 in Portland, Oregon.

The stamp is the largest stamp

Largest one I have

Thanks! Desertgem-Jim that's a fantastic sized stamp! thanks too Warrehouse, that info 10 feet by 16 feet is an eye opener. Very sorry but I thought I had a large stamp at abt 2inches by 1.5inches! Thanks to all

Here are two candidates for large. Both were postally used and came in sheets of 6 stamps. The 25c is 86x112mm. The 30c is 105x85mm. Scott values them at $110 and $140. Both can be found for around $40, more or less.

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.
