There are numerous size guides for US stamps, pretty much covering the entire Scott number range. Is anyone aware of similar guides for Canadian singles/souvenir sheets/booklets/etc?

Iuse the sure Showgard mounts and find them really good. I collect UK stamps, I measure the stamp in millimetres then order the mount nearest above that millimetre size. I have never considered looking for any charts. I hope this helps.

Thanks, but its the measurement I'm trying to avoid. Showgard conveniently makes a mount guide every year for USA releases but they don't appear to offer that service for Canada. They are dead on, especially for oddball items like souvenir sheets.
Heck I wish they'd partner with someone to offer the guides for the most common countries collected.

How about just using a mount gauge?

You all are not getting the point. I want a precalculated list so I can quickly determine what mounts I need. I don't want to kill an hour to measure everything myself. I figured one poor soul did all the dirty work and shared the results with the rest of us. This is not odd; this is what Showgard does every year, but only for USA.

We were getting the point - just trying to be neighborly and help out!

I have had the same difficulty with stamps other than the USA. I feel like USA stamps are typically consistent in their sizes, so not much changes year to year, so it is easier to create a size list every year.
