Eating Nacho Cheese Doritos or Cheetos while working on your collection....probably not a good idea.

Buying and reusing used hinges--yes, people sell them--probably not a good idea. |

1.) Not necessary to wear curator's cotton gloves before handling albums and other philatelic materials, however, always wash hands first.
2.) Liquid refreshment in the area is a "no no". |

leaving stamps out while the wife is cleaning... Not such a good idea!
"Honey!" "Have you seen my stamps!?!" |

 Having a Double Yellow Head parrot flying around the house is also Double Trouble; not only does a 'fly over' send stamps in every direction but they also love to chomp on things! She can easily rip into a 2x4 and turn it into splinters and cracks open nuts with ease. Stamps, albums, catalogs, tongs, mounts, and hinges are all fair game 'toys'. Don |

When it's really hot and humid and your fingers get stuck to the mounts/hinges because they're sweaty |

When you are replacing a stamp in your collection with a better copy and you accidentally remount the original inferior stamp. Not that it's ever happened to me... |
