Beginner to Advanced Stamp Presentation | A Stanley Gibbons Guide for Modern Collectors 

I don't see how in the world stock books would be "easy to rearrange when acquiring new material"? Unless you intentionally left blank spaces for every conceivable stamp in a country.

Put your imagination at work! I don't leave blank spaces. From many stamps, I've got more than one copy (mint & used, interesting cancels etc) and I just add them when I get them. And every now and then, I rearrange everything, always chronologically, always esthetically as pleasing as possible. A 60 pages packed collection is then turned again into a 120 pages more or less nicely presented collection. My world wide collection is not a 'presentation' collection to show off. It's in a more or less constant process of rearrangeing (once France has been nicely rearranged, it's time again for Barbados, and then for Belgium etc etc, depending on from what countries or territories I acquired lots of new material) gives me heaps of fun and enjoyment.

@@Oldfaithful61 Ok, thanks for the explanation. At least you are not having to deal with hinges and mounts! Do you write up little labels that ID the stamps or no?

@@chriswhitehouse8982 Indeed, no hinges and mounts for me ! With the sole exception of my mint Belgian collection which is in preprinted Davo albums. There are small labels in my collection, but not for each individual stamp. The labels merely say what territory or country the subcollection comes from. Some countries are rather complicated, Germany e.g. has over 50 different subcollections (and in my collection a total of over 11,000 different stamps). The detailed information is in my catalogues (Stanley Gibbons, Yvert & Tellier, Michel + specialised catalogues from many countries), and I cross off the stamps I've got, used or mint or hinged, FDC's and all other possible useful information. Catalogues don't mention everything ! Then, on my computer, I've got some documents, which I call my 'bookkeeping', including the number of different stamps of every territory or country, approximate catalogue value, etc. Finally, there are probably some 500,000 duplicates which are not part of my collection but are gathering dust in literally hundreds of packed stockbooks. In case you're interested, make me an acceptable offer (6 digits) and come and get the lot ! But you'll need a really huge van. :)

@@Oldfaithful61 I too like the ease of using stockbooks for my collection, which like most stamp collections, is nowhere near as extensive as yours. It sounds like you have amassed quite a collection, it would be a real treat to see any part of it presented here on the yt.

Do you have valuable stamps or more sentimental?

Thank you for your interest in more of our videos. We will pass this along to the team and if you have any questions about the items we stock our team is available for assistance.

Those aren’t great sites for making albums, you get a much cleaner and more polished look by using Microsoft Word or Microsoft Publisher, and might I add, they’re much easier to use too!

@@Catfinks With the MW or MP how would you add images of the stamps

@@rogerturner1881 you just paste them in obviously, and if you don’t have the images to hand you don’t need to show them,descriptive text or catalogue number will do, with my exhibition I don’t have pictures of the stamp or text behind as it’s pointless when you’re just going to cover it over with said stamp!

Hello, The album used is the Stanley Gibbons Balmoral ablums and gridded faced album leaves. We welcome more questions on our videos and our team would be happy to help with any questions you have. We can be reached at shop@stanleygibbons.com

Not much intellect , sorry friend.

Very shallow black and white brain you got there.
