Topic: Stamp album


  
  Choosing Stamp Album
One of the most familiar components of the stamp hobby is the stamp album, a book filled with pages that have designated spaces to mount and display stamps.
Stamp albums with printed pages appeared in the United States as early as 1863, just 16 years after the first U.S. stamps were issued.
Stamps with special designations, such as airmail, semipostal and postage due, may appear on separate pages near the back of the album.

 American Philatelic Society -- Three Stamp Collecting Tips
Since the first known commercial stamp album was published in 1862, the stamp hobby has grown tremendously, and many types of albums have become available.
If you are buying an album in person, rather than by mail, listen to the seller's advice, but don't be fully convinced by claims that one or another album is "the best." An album may be by a famous maker, and expensive, but that doesn't make it "the best" one for you.
Good beginners' albums are available that are not too expensive, are fully illustrated to show which stamp goes where, and may even contain extra information, such as maps and facts about the countries.

 Jim's Stamp Album: "I've Inherited This Collection..."
If your collection is just a bunch of stamps stuck in an album (or maybe just in envelopes), your work is much more straightforward, as there are probably several catalogs that you can use to determine their rough value.
Stamps like this - in fact, most stamps with a catalog value of less than $1 - will usually be purchased by a dealer for face value, or even a fraction of face value.
If the collection is of unused stamps, it will be worth more if the stamps are in "mounts" (like you see on my pages) than if they are attached to the pages with hinges (small pieces of gummed paper which attach directly to the stamp and to the album page).
