The future of Stamps ????.

[dianealthea]

many of the preprinted pages will have nothing.

That's why you are here, to fill up those spaces!

Oh, I'm working at it. It's just slow going.

Something went wrong with the quoting in your message; the "many of the preprinted pages will have nothing" wasn't from me; it should be correct above (yes, I checked the preview!).

This is a big reason for me; not only do I not like completely empty pages (and I can start filling them without having the printed pages), but they're an expense I don't need. The fact that I can print Steiner pages for what I have is really nice, especially where I have a few stamps in parts of the collection I'm not working on right now, and when I print the others, I can use the latest version of the pages with any corrections needed already made.

So yeah, I'm filling pages, and printing more almost weekly, but it's really nice to be able to flip pages in my albums and always have a nice stamp to look at, rather than being reminded of how far I have to go.

But, if the glass is half full.........it would be reminding you of how far you have come.......

I suspect that only works if the proportion is somewhere close to half; as it is, many pages still just have a single stamp. When I spend time just flipping through my albums, I'm wanting to enjoy the stamps, so it fits my usage. I don't use the album as my inventory, so the empty spaces are just that. I also use heavy paper (67#), so empty pages weigh a lot, and consume a lot of trees for a world-wide collection.

Seriously, Steiner's pages make it very easy to have pages that you need, and have the rest available when you need them, which works well for me. Others might like having all the pages at once.

Yrs, only if the album is half full...(counts me out) and you are right, the album shouldn't be your inventory...

And the blank spaces on the Steiner pages scream out to you, "FILL ME!" and it's a hoot when you manage it.

That holds true for any album pages.....the screaming and the hooting...

Especially when I accidentally splash some Dr. Pepper on them!

[kellysboytoy]

Or coffee.....(guilty)....


There was some shouting and screaming that night......and I was alone

[dianealthea]

Well, I kind of agree with making the pages as you collect. That's how I built my Europa Collection but I didn't use pages. I used these special little varios that the PO put out way back in time. But as time went on and I added more pages there were holes as I had everything by year and alpha... it took awhile to fill it all up and now I'm doing a seperate binder for s/s for which I'm still on the hunt for...

Food and drink are not allowed in the stamp room... and the cats are slowly being escorted out... because they ended up like this...

[kellysboytoy]

Must be nice...I got 16 more years before I get a whole room for my stamps......(unless I can trade for a C3a or a set of Zepps)

[dianealthea]

Yeah, thought I had the room then the wayward 31-yr old moved back home with her one-yr old son 2.5 years ago and then it got kind of cramped but everything worked out well, I was still able to keep one corner of the room. Now they've moved out and I've taken it all back over!!!

[kellysboytoy]

Sounds like my friend "Tex". He had a room...then one of his daughters moved back home. She is finally out it seems, and just as she was out, another one came home after she discovered her husband......u get the picture...
