Do I Need Glassine Interleaves With Stamp Mounts?

Hello good morning, I'm thinking of organizing the collection I'm starting in a Kabe springback album, with linen hinged pages. Since I'm using stamp mounts, do I need glassine pages interleaves? I'm also thinking of using both pages, because linen hinged pages are expensive and I'm only collecting souvenir or miniature sheets. Thanks everyone for the help and suggestions.

If you are going to put mounts on both sides of the pages I would use interleaves - the mounts would interfere with one another and hang up

No, you don't. The mounts containing miniature sheets shouldn't interfere with one another. I've done this quite extensively without problems.

I agree with Geoff. And glassine interleaving is such a pain to keep from creasing/wrinkling/tearing out. The juice is not worth the squeeze.

In principle, mount as you want without putting the interleaved sheets.
If you later see that they get in the way or hang up, put them on.

Ramon76, first off welcome to the forum. Linen hinged pages! Love them. Where can one obtain these? All I see available for springbacks is creased card stock.

As for your question, I prefer to use one side only. But in my opinion If using two sides I would try to align mounts in such a way that they would not catch each other, but yet remain asteticly pleasing.

No1philatelist I can get linen hinged pages in Europe from Lighthouse Kabe... not cheap though, but I think it is worth it

No1philatelist,

You can find it at Lighthouse Publications in Germany.

KABE Blank sheets linen hinge, with black traditional borderline
Item number: 326598 (in Germany)
14,95 € (pack of 10)

You probably can get them from Lighthouse Publications in Canada.

I don't think that Kabe has pre-printed albums for Canada stamps.

Gibbons still offers linen-hinged leaves

Ramon1976 and Cosmophilatelist, gentlemen thank you for that information. I have not found anyone in Canada supplying those pages for springback albums. In my opinion the best and the easiest way with freedom to mount items any way you choose and rearrange pages as you please without posts, holes and pins. As well the linnen allows the pagees to always lay flat and will outlast the owner. I will try to find links to what you mention. Converted to Canadian for 25 pages = $53.85 + shipping+ 15% HST + 10.00 fee = about $91 or $2.88 a page. A very reasonable amount.

Geoffha! Wow, Gilt edges and only 138.86£ for 25 pages. At todays exchange rate thats $232.60Cdn + shipping + 15% HST and a $10. post office charge to collect tax. May as well say $300 cdn Or $12 a leaf. And than the album! I think I will pass on them. Just a bit too pricey for me and most collectors I would think.

£82.96 for twenty-five pages, I think!

The Stanley Gibbons Balmoral are definitely out of my league... I think I will go with the Kabe springback and the Kabe linen hinged pages, anyone has experience with these? Are they good quality? I'm buying online so I would like to know if these are worth it.

GeoffHa, obviously a difference from what you see to what I see. Maybe you get a discount from your supplier? See screen capture from the site you listed and I linked to.

No - mine was showing £, yours Canadian (I presume) dollars.

Yup
82.96 Pound sterling equals $139.14 Canadian Dollars

I INCORRECTLY assumed that the 138 was £ Blind to the $. Oops! My mistake. The site automatically determined I was located in Canada! Did not know that sites could change prices automatically to location. I thought the pages were hard fixed information like a handheld catalogue.
Ok, so $139cdn + shipping + 15% + $10.00 fee = $189.00
Assuming shipping approx-$20.00
$189 ÷25 = $7.86 a page. Still well over double the Kabe /Leuchturm pages.
