A recent collector said to me this past week, "I have a collection of about 500 stamps and some are individual but many are still on envelopes (covers). I want to display my entire collection - what do you recommend?"
Besides having individual stamps, covers or more specifically, postal stationary, has become a widely growing area. There is so much history that can be on any of these envelopes, a famous person, a town from a bygone area, interesting postal cancellations....
This collector actually has a wide range of choices. It depends on whether they would like the First Day Covers stored in the same album as your stamps, or if they would like to store them separately. In all of our stamp album systems, we have pages that will fit covers (2 and 3 pocket pages), along with pages for individual stamps with 6 to 8 strips on a page. You simply select a ringbinder in one of these systems, and the number of pages of each style you need to basically create your own customized album with pages for each.
Alternatively, you could purchase a separate stockbook for stamps . A 32 page model stockbook would most likely fit 500 stamps, but you might want to consider a 64 page stockbook to allow room for growth.
And then lastly you could purchase a separate cover album for all of the envelopes you have. All of our postal stationary albums include some of the same systems for stamps mentioned above, but some are just made for covers specifically. With SAFE, you have endless solutions.
