Was curious on how many of us that do stay up to date in US mint new issues do so both in singles as well as the mini sheets which seem to be issued about 6 times a year .

If you do get the mini sheets , what type of album pages are you using . I have always used Lighthouse , and they are the only ones I know that have an annual hingeless supplement for mini pages .

Right now I'm collecting 90's stamps and chasing time until I can catch up to the present. 90's US Minuteman supplements are incomplete and require re-mounting. I am a retired engineer and I just make my own pages in AutoCAD LT which now is considerably easier to use than it was 20 years ago.

It's quick, easy and inexpensive (not counting the $40/month subscription fee for AutoCAD LT). I upload the .pdf files to a stick and have them printed out at a large format facility nearby.

If one doesn't know how to use AutoCad there are tutorials all over the place in YouTube. Even a search engine's AI can give the answer on how to do a specific command and there are only a few commands necessary that are needed to do this.

Hope this helps or at least gets you thinking towards a solution.

Mystic Heirlooms tend to have pages for minisheets (I assume they are the same now as up to 2000)., I use various-sized Prinz/Scott mounts to mount them.

I went through several phases.



The mounts were expensive so went cheap with protective sleeves.



I stopped collecting modern US.
