Hello,
I'm new to this site and forum as of today and am looking for some information. I came into possession of 12 US White Ace Commemorative and Regular Issue plate block albums. The commemorative albums appear to be a mixture of simplified and complete plate block pages, but the issue I have is that between 1981 and mid-1983, none of the album pages are numbered. The last 1980 page is 465, and the pages are again numbered in 1983 at Olympic Games with page 518. I have no way to determine the exact sequence of the pages, or if any pages are inadvertently missing. The total pages should be 53 (466-517), but I only have a total of 40 - adding to the conclusion that I have the simplified version of those supplements. Any assistance on providing help identifying the sequence and numbers would be mot helpful - such as (an example) p466 - Dirksen; p467 - American Flowers, etc... would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

A look at my Scott Catalog shows 53 issued commemorative stamps in the range you mention. Dirksen is first and Hawthorn last. I believe that the pages missing or not would follow the issue date order of the commemorative stamps. So I suggest your get you hands on Scott Catalog, US Specialized suggested, or Volume 1A of the world-wide set. Your local library is a free source and for your purposes, any Scott Catalog edition on or after 1984 will work.

As to your guessed order of Dirksen and then flowers, you missed W.M. Young Jr.

I mention this just in case you are unaware, but White Ace is out of business and pages unused or used can only be found on the after market. You may need to get some blank pages to replace the missing ones or will need to buy a used set from a dealer or ebay type company. Your set of twelve was a good score. See below how to easily add to it.

Edited? Yes edited. See below why.

WOW! Great news of which I was unaware. I last tracked this while the news was no one wanted to buy the line or brand.

I only use the pages for a small topical collection (Judo and martial arts). Having unused ones then (and now) I was resigned to figuring out what next if I out lived my stock of pages.
