Maybe an odd question.

I make my own album pages, I started with officials. I was using the black stock pages for everything, and it just got too messy with little notes about varieties and cancels.
I use Scott or Showguard mounts, and like the way the pages work. The varieties get their own page with a picture ot the variety. (Haven't done many cancels yet)

I started doing my Revenues, since they were getting the same way. Plus a couple of the stockpages are getting yellow, being about 40 years old. It's going well but I need to do them for the silk papers and Imperf/part perf pairs, which I only have a few of.

The questions,
On silk papers, do you put them in showing the back so you can see the thread? Or front showing?. I could include a picture, but doing the pictures is a bit of work and I don't want to redo the page every time I get a new stamp.

I haven't quite figured out the imperf/part perf. If they were all Horizontal pairs it would be easy but they're not. And I don't know which ones only come one way. The ones I have are not the expensive ones, and it seems a bit silly to make a page for each one.
I'd considered doing a page for each Scott number and having all four on it but that's also seeming like a bit too much work.

Nope. I note variants (and what makes them so), but wouldn't flip a stamp over to highlight it.

Thanks, I only have a couple, but when I make pages I like to make them useful long term.

That project is moving slowly, getting mounts is a bit of a problem lately. Seems like all the sizes I want are backordered.

I use the Scott Revenue pages. I hinge them. When I want to look at the back it is trivial to flip them over.

When I need to show both sides of a stamp I get a second example and flip one for a side-by-side view.

But I make my own pages and can put things were I want them.
