Here is a couple I made myself. It does take time and I used Excel to do it. The second (Liberia)one is a double page that I have offset in the scanner to show it's application. I use the the clear CWS pockets for the unused stamps and mount the used copies on the white page. You can turn the clear pocket page to see the backs of the stamps. It is a bit tricky to get them to align properly though. Cheers! Wolf-==-

Wolf Here is an example of pages I do for certain Countries, which are done with stamps+numbers+pics (Scott or Unitrade for Canada) by my choosing and not controlled by Steiner pages layours etc, for example. I resized the page but original is 8 1/2 X 11, with 3 ring to fit in binders of my choosing. This page is part of my CANADA1 album 1851-1937. I mount my stamps on blck mounts. You will notice 2 spaces to be filled. Sc # 88 is in the mail. You will note I made spaces for 3 copies of 85i. The empty space should be filled shortly as I do not put empty spaces I cannot fill. (already shown in Canada section)   |

Here is another homemade page (not by me) in my collection that I thought was pretty cool. I love the hand done calligraphy. I was lucky to get it for around 25% CV back in 2012. I did remount the stamps in clear showgards.  |

Hey "Walkman" how long does it take you to make a page? I'm not sure how many varieties does the 29c have, but what will you do if you come across another? Remount all your stamps? Just checking. BTW, I do like your application. Wolf-==- |

Here's a couple I made to consolidate stamps that were otherwise spread out over different pages in the Minuteman album.   And one for the PNCs I gathered from a flag-heavy batch of kiloware:  All were printed on genuine Minuteman blank pages, which I had to fold along the edge to fit through my printer. |

stampwolf, it usually takes just a few minutes to create a new page using other pages as templates. Right now, I'm creating pages for the 1943-44 Overrun Countries issue and I used the 1936-37 Army-Navy issue as a starting point. It's easy once you've got the dimensions set for each type of stamp. If I run across a new variety or buy a stamp and want to keep the selvage (50˘ Parcel Post is a good example), I'll rearrange or resize the spaces on the page it goes on, print out the new page, and remount all the stamps. It's a bit of a hassle, but I usually add all of the collectible varieties that I want to add to my collection so it doesn't happen very often. Most recently, I pickup up a Scott 702 Red Cross issue with a dark red cross (lake color variety?) and reprinted the page with a space for it. Again, it doesn't happen very often so it's not a big deal. Overall, I'm very happy with the pages as I believe they look pretty good. It's taken a long time (15-20 years) of designs and changes to get them where I like them, and it's an ongoing process. |

This is a start for me on CSA pages. These were easy to create (5 Minutes). I am trying to decide if this will serve as a basis going forward.   Hobsun |
