LOL. No room for press sheets. No desire for press sheets.
Here is a drawer dedicated to several hundred USPS lobby posters, some as large as 30"x40"


This is stored on top of them, a set of 5 advertising mobile panels (each nearly 10"x18") for Scott 3025-3029 from 1996 and meant to hang in a lobby. With a yard stick for size comparison. How many of these have survived?

Not many no doubt. If they printed one for every post office that would only be 40,000 or so and most of them likely ended up in a dumpster.

Ironic how low the numbers of these things are compared to the millions printed of the stamps that most collectors chase.

Kudos for preserving them!

I looked at boxes and could get corrugated boxes from uline but slide in for about $50 for 10 plus shipping.

I found some 38x24x5 archival cardboard for $45 plus shipping.

Cabinets were running $300-$5- and up.

Here are better images.

It appears that the Scott sleeves, PS01 and PS02, as well as the green storage boxes, might no longer be produced. Is there a source for these?

I did not do enough searching to see if Scott purchases from someone else. The boxes could be custom.
