Stamp Albums

 

There are two main types of stamp album. Here I explain to you the difference between the two types and show you a bunch of different ones that you can buy.

 

Stamp Albums and Stock Books: Stamp Albums are very specific and they typically have pictures of the stamps in them. These are what we think of as albums that we build our collection in. And stock books are more generic. They usually have rows that you can store and display stamps in. Typically a stock book is where you keep your extra or duplicate stamps or like me you can build some kind of a specialized collection in. For example I show you three pictures of one of my specialty collections. It is of castle stamps and I keep it in a stock book. I have more about Stock Books right here

A Stamp Album:

The first picture shows a page from my stamp album that has stamps in it. The second picture shows that a typical album will have pictures to help you place and organize your stamps.

Statesman Deluxe Album:

Statesman Deluxe Album: For Postage Stamps of the World [Stock No. H103]

"A well-kept stamp collection can be a lifelong source of pride and pleasure, and the best way to protect and to display a collection is by properly mounting in in one or more stamp albums. This album is the finest one can buy for its size and price, and with careful use and care, it should last for many years of active stamp collecting..." (from book)

(Young collectors might consider Mystic's U.S. Stamp Collecting Starter Kit. Virtually complete - includes spaces and illustrations for almost every U.S. postage stamp issued from 1847 to the present. 3 Big Volumes - plenty of room for your stamp collection to grow. (Each volume measures 11" x 11.5" and is 2.25 inches thick.) Ideal design - the American Heirloom's three-ring stay-flat design allows the album pages to lie completely flat. It's easy to mount and view your stamps and add yearly album supplements when the pages lie flat. (If you've ever had to use a two-post stamp album you know they can be hard to use.) Over 1,360 pages of high quality, 70-pound crème finch paper. And every page is numbered, which is helpful with an album of this size! Scott Catalogue numbers - Heirloom has the Scott numbers we're all familiar with. Scott numbers are used in the Mystic U.S. Stamp Catalog so identifying your stamps is a snap. Using your album to organize your collection is easier than ever. Higher-quality illustrations - You'll see great detail on over 5,000 U.S. postage stamps that are illustrated. Even rare and unusual U.S. postage stamps are illustrated - including the rarest U.S. stamp - the 1868 1¢ Z Grill. Seeing these stamps illustrated is a real treat. Full of information - the Heirloom contains all kinds of neat stamp facts. You'll love knowing the stories behind the stamps. Whether you are a new collector or have been collecting for many years, the Heirloom is an indispensable stamp resource.
