Haven't 'collected' stamp since a kid in the 70's. Recently acquired the 2nd volume of Mystic Hingeless Album. Found out after the fact that it was missing the airmail pages.
Also, it didn't come with a slipcase.

Mystic will sell me the missing pages but they won't sell me a slip case. Anyone know of a comparable slipcase available out in the wild. Maybe Amazon. I don't have any other Mystic albums so not certain what to look for but I'd like to get something that will match up well with Mystic Heirloom Hingeless album series.

Appreciate the input. TY

I'm beginning to think this is a common pattern. My childhood collecting trailed off just as I was starting high school in 1975. The I picked it back up again when I retired about five years ago.

I've also been through this albums and binders question myself. Not sure I have a good final answer yet. My tastes seem to evolve with experience and as I learn more on this site.

But here's where I am right now: I too got the Mystic albums but wasn't happy with the binders. The pages just didn't seem to hang right, at least in the ones I got. So I got rid of those and moved the pages to Vario F binders made by Lighthouse. Much nicer binders and they come with slipcases. Definitely pricey, but you get what you pay for.

Why wouldn't Mystic sell the slipcases? Because they want to sell you an entire album?

They no longer sell just slipcases due to supplier requirements. At least that is what the company told me via email. They can sell me the pages that I was missing from the volume I have but I'd like to get a slipcase for it.

Mystic seems to be all about the best way to milk the last dollar out if the customer. I personally do not do business with them. I have found them to be pricey.
