I've been slowly adding to my collection of the M&M wrappers. I've not found a suitable means to store/display them as many (especially the Match wrappers) are very large, very thin, and very fragile. Most of mine are still in whatever they came in. I'd like to be able to put them in a binder to view, with the flexibility of rearranging them as needed without risk of damage. Given their size I don't expect to get more than two per-page, but one per would be acceptable.

I'd like to hear how others have solved this problem.

What I'd suggest is to use showgard mounts in black to mount them to individual 8.5 X 11 pages, then store them in sheet protectors in a binder. You can add or more them as you want that way.

They can be mounted in 8.5x11 European cover size black stock sheets, two to a page as well.

You could put them in black Showgard/Scott mounts with a thin cardboard backer (or heavy card stock paper) for support. Then you can mount them on vario 2-row stock sheets.

I store them in Lindner plastic protectors and then put them in Lighthouse Vario 2S black pages (2 pockets on both sides. That way if I get a new wrapper that goes in the middle of a run of dates, it's easy to pull them out and move them without actually touching the wrapper.

I recommend using archival rigid sleeves like these:

Then put the individual sleeves in 2-up Vario or G&K Centurion pages.

This allows you to be able to take the individual wrappers out and/or reorganize them without risking damage, and also if you get the clear G&K Centurion 2-up pages, you can see the backs as well as the fronts without removing anything. The only difficulty would be annotations, but you could do that with paper inserts in the pages.

Thanks for all of the feedback. Definitely a few things to try. I am not a fan of Showgard mount, especially for anything large. I use top loading Hawid for my album, but with such a large stamp the front of the mount acts like a sail. There is glue to seal the top, but I don't like the idea of glue anywhere near my stamps.

Again, thanks.
