I recently got this page and thought it was pretty funky. The previous owner had all the MNH stamps in mounts, several different types. I'm not sure if this is a Steiner page, but the person printed it themselves and then cut it out with scissors... pretty darn crooked cuts! Happy

Then the oddest part was that they cut the right edge around the 3 cent stamp! Never saw an album page with a bump out before. And for toppers, instead of a page protector, the page was wrapped in clinging plastic wrap. The face visible and it all carefully folded on the back side.

I suppose the little dots next to each stamp meant something, like they had included the stamp in their inventory?

Strange indeed!

Looks like a Scott National album page.

re: Funky Album Page

It is a National page. the prior owner looks like he copied it onto standard sized paper to use in a standard binder. To each his own, I guess. It would bother me just looking at something like this.

....and this is why we say, 'to each his own'!

If the original owner liked it that way, so be it!

And if you want to change it up, so be it again!


One of the many reasons it is such a wonderful hobby - it's personal and there is no wrong way to do it; you can collect stamps ANY WAY YOU WANT.

re: Funky Album Page

Randy, I just thought it was comical that he cut around that stamp that bumps out instead of cutting his page straight down at that point. And wrapping it in saran wrap...

It doesn't exist anymore. The Washington Bicentennial stamps are now in my album and the rest in my stock book.

It's not that easy to paint under a picture or painting.

re: Funky Album Page

I can't figure the whole page cutting thing, but I do put (much smaller) pencil marks like that on my album pages. If I have a stamp in my album with a fault that is not obvious, I will place a pencil mark in the album on the side of the stamp where the fault is located. That way if I come across a better copy, I'll know where to look. And if there is no pencil mark on the album page, I know that I do not need a better copy. So, the pencil marks are erased when such stamps are upgraded.

Any flaw that I'd keep has to have some significant value lacking that flaw and I'd be very embarrassed if it went to someone as sound. Thus, an "X" on the back, corner to corner so I don't miss it with aging eyes.
