What will be a good quality US simplified album without the single and double USPS watermark and without grill, I prefer 2 posts binder

White Ace do have simplified pages, but I dislike their borders

Thanks.

When you're talking US stamps, nothing is simple! I think the best way is to group your stamps and make your own pages. If you are not collecting all the varieties, grills, booklet panes, imperfs, and coils make your own pages.

What about the Scott Minuteman ? What is the content? I can see old one with 2 posts on ebay, the new one are 3 rings and the supplements have holes for 2 posts and 3 rings, what are the size of the new pages ? ( I ask because if it's more than 8.5" wide, holes can be made to fit in a 2 posts binder )

The pages in my 1971 Scott Minuteman Album are 9.25" x 11.25". It did have spaces for the grills, and watermark varieties.

Most if not all printed albums for US stamps have spaces for all major Scott catalogue issues. For pre-1930 US material, Scott assigned major catalogue numbers for different watermarks, grills, etc. In fact Scott is biased to this area compared to modern. Steiner follows Scott so no luck with Steiner. Net, you are on your own.

If you want to forgo the two post binder requirement, you might want to look at collecting by design type.

PSE has an album available for US stamps to 1947: http://www.psestamp.com/usd/moreinfo.chtml

It's a nice album on heavy card stock. I have one (only 12 more spaces to fill to "complete" LOL) It's a nice diversion from chasing Scott numbers.

Experienced stamps need a home too. I'd rather have an example that is imperfect than no example.
I collect for enjoyment, not investment.
