Has anyone ever contacted Mystic for an explanation why users of their albums are forced to separate self adhesive se-tenants into singles on Christmas issues? I fail to see the logic.There doesn't seem for me to be a way to do it without damage to some of them. It seems to be a thing just on the Christmas issues. Why, on earth? Also how can one do this?

Buy a pack of 24 Mystic US blank supplement pages (US#GS531) for $4.25 and make your own page. Scott users have had to do that for decades.

I have a hundred blank pages; my question mainly was WHY they do it this way? I discern no pattern in their presentation and wonder if there is something I am missing.

I wonder if it is better for them on how they sell new issues.

I don't follow. Why is asking collectors to separate self-adhesive se-tenants into singles going to give Mystic Stamp Company more money?

My objection was to the old, now defunct, White Ace albums which required mounting a block-of-four AND four separate singles, meaning you needed to buy two blocks of four and separate one. That seemed a little redundant for no reason. With cheap stamps, no big deal, but with more expensive stamps it could become annoying. Does Mystic do that in their albums?

Also, if you don't buy your stamps from Mystic, then they don't profit no matter what the page layout is. I don't buy my stamps from Mystic. And I don't use their albums, either. Problem solved.

I just made a wild guess it had to be driven be an advantage for Mystic

Do you think a dealer would remove a self-adhesive from a booklet to another release liner to maximize yield of stamps?

One may want to consider this for double sided booklets. Some booklets have pairs that are separated by a gap so cannot get that many contiguous blocks from the booklet. Getting a block of four from booklets would be low yield. Singles would give one better yield.

Agree with angore. But as far as I'm concerned, they are nothing but valueless stickers anyway,
