Hmm, geography has changed from when i was in school. I didn’t know the North and South Poles were continents!!!

@Michael Forte… Sounds very similar system to what I’m using (with the exception that I usually have several albums/stockbooks for each area/country)… In a way it seems that the larger the collection grows, the more granular division is required to keep it in order.

My collection is broken down by geography. keep an album for Canada. Another album for the USA, an album for Central America. South America is separated from the Carribeans. Do the same for the other continents, like Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia and New Zealand,and the other Pacific Island Countries. The Russian Republic is part of Europe, but is in a separate album and it also covers the Asia continent. The only two continents that do not need a album are the North and South Poles.This makes the stamps more easy to find and more knowledgeable for everyone.

Hi Tikithindi,

That is a bargain price for stock pages. They are normally much more expensive (at least in this part of the world)…

Re your question (”Is there any consequences when stamp partially is above the strip?”)… If you use protective interleaves between facing pages, then it should not matter too much. On humid enviroments, covering the stamp fully can provide slightly better protection (especially if not using other protection such as slip/dust covers for albums/binders).

@Fred… So true.
