I do the same thing. In order to protect any exposed sheets, I use a plastic page protector to keep them safe. I just slide the black sheet inside a page protector and place in the binder.
Very good account of the main ways to store and display stamps. I like the information and the way you displayed it with the stamps in the stock book and Vario type pages. Very neat and attractive. Thanks for the video and sharing!
Good synapsis of three popular ways to display one's postage stamps. The Vario type stamp storage/display sheets come in a variety of rows - from one, two ( great for many souvenir sheets ) up to 8 rows..... there are also the stamp mounts which many collectors use for their more valuable stamps. From what I've read, the quality of stamp hinges is not too good today; I'm fortunate to have a stash of old Dennison stamp hinges that will probably last me as long as I am around.... Thanks for posting this video !
Nice video, but I believe you should also speak to the damag hinging does to gum of mint stamps. Also, the alternative of protective mounts, while more expensive and time intensive than hinging mint stamps is a very reasonable 4th alternative.
Thank you and I agree. I store my personal stamps in stock books and do not hinge them. The hinged album I referenced was gifted to me for Father's Day.
I like soring my stamps in glassiness and then into the glassine boxes. If the set let's say has eight stamps in the set, I will store on or two of them in each glassine and catalog it.
Lighthouse Vario sheets come in various arrangements, with a varying number of pockets for items of different sizes; there is one (VARIO 2S) that comes with just two pockets, which are large enough (128mm) for souvenir sheets.
