How does everyone mount their modern US Souvenir Sheets? I have some in Prinz/Showgard Mounts in my commemorative albums and the rest in Mint File Sheets in separate albums as the mounts get kind of expensive. I've been thinking on this and wondering if clear corner mounts would work. Or the vario type sheets that are full page. I found out that Amos sells ones that match the National Border and thought about those too. Just so I can keep the sheets with their counterparts. Anyone try either of these options? Corner mounts might not work on the bigger sheets, but maybe on the smaller sheets like The 1606 Voyage of Samuel de Champlain or Gifts of Friendship?

I use Vario clear 1-pocket pages for larger souvenir sheets, and I just overlay them on top of the printed album page. The sheet stays in place in the Vario page pretty well, and they cost less than $1 each. This may not be a viable solution for every album type, depending on page size and layout, etc.

I use the Walmart Casemate protector sleeve and reinforce it with a black cardstock paper... Both have to be in the heavyweight grade.

Very presentable in my opinion and lets me squander the savings on more stamps !



oh... The white plains and Bunny Imperfs are in VARIO 1S for additional protection... Rest are in the above setup !

Very nice Ananthveerappan and TheArtfulHinder. I think I'll try both as well as maybe pick up some Scott full page varios and see which I like best.

TheArtfulHinger, funny you put up the National Parks sheet. I bought the USPS Grandest Things book as I like these sometimes so I have something with a bit of history and maybe it will get someone else into stamp collecting. Anyway, this book has places for some of the National Park stamps and I decided I'm going to put duplicates of all my National Park ones in here to fatten it up a bit instead of having just a few. I'm planning on mounting my souvenir sheet in there, but will actually use a Prinz/Showgard mount for this one case since it's a book.

As an experiment for 2016, I started mounting sheets in protective sleeves with custom pages with and without mounts. Even if you do not use a mount, the static electricity seems to keep them more or less in place.

I do not like Varios for large items now since some sheets are too tight of fit and takes some care to get them in the page. They also blend in better for me.

This was scanned with the sheet in the protective sleeve. I have tried without the page inside the sleeve or in the sleeve.



using the new optimizer tool.

If someone collected moderns sheets (what the USPS prefers you do), this is probably the best least expensive method - protective sleeves with custom sheets -- to do it.

Angore, I like that idea too. I just picked up some Advantage Scott 1 pocket vario style sheets today with the national border. I'll see how that turns out. If not, I do like your idea too!
