		It is amazing that gum adhesive on the back of a stamp has come into such prominence and bickering that, before deciding on how to put the stamps in the envelop, a collector has to determine whether his stamps are going to be used or mint copies.
		However, since used stamps have no gum, it is not sensible, to use the far more expensive mounting to place used stamps in an album.
		It is easy to see why they are called "hinges." They hinge the stamps to the page, allowing them to be lifted in order to examine the back.

	Stamp Collecting
		Any stamp that is clean, not torn, badly creased, or made thin by having a stamp hinge or piece of paper badly torn off the back of the stamp, is said to be a stamp in good condition.
		Sometimes a stamp has brown spots on it and many new collectors think that, because of this, the stamp is in too bad a condition to be used.
		It will also tell you why the stamps were issued (to honour a famous person or to commemorate an event, for example), the year the stamps were issued, the denomination of the stamps in the set, and the colour of each stamp in the set.

	Stamp collecting - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stamp collecting is the collecting of postage stamps and related objects, such as covers (envelopes or packages with stamps on them).
		Duplicate stamps are the stamps that a collector already has, and are therefore not required to fill a gap in a collection.
		Stamp catalogues are the primary tool used by serious collectors to organize their collection, and for the identification and valuation of stamps.

	Stamp hinge - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stamp hinges are small, folded, rectangular pieces of paper coated with a mild gum, used to hold postage stamps onto the pages of a stamp album.
		The best stamp hinges are also designed to be "peelable", meaning that the stamp may be removed from the page, and the hinge from the stamp, without any damage to either.
		Since the time that unhinged stamps became popular, considerable numbers of old stamps with intact gum have appeared on the market, raising suspicion that many of these have been regummed; some experts have asserted that there are no stamps surviving from the 19th century that have not been hinged.

	Condition a key component of stamp value (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Even a stamp issued without gum cannot be described as mint if there is a hinge or a hinge remnant on the back, although you might not be able to tell the difference if someone takes the time to soak the remnant off.
		When a stamp is described as "unused, hinged," it means that the gum on the back of the stamp has been hinged or is otherwise slightly disturbed, and the stamp is no longer in mint condition.
		A stamp hinge is a tiny thing, and it might have disturbed only a tiny area of gum, but whether or not a stamp has ever been hinged can have a significant impact on its value.

	How to Use Stamp Hinges correctly and avoid damaging your stamp collection :: Stamp collecting from the Glassine Surfer
		If you wet and stick the top of the hinge's album-side, then after you paste the hinge down in the album, you won't be able to flip up the stamp to see the reverse without jamming the top perforations into the album paper.
		Hinges are used for the common used, cancelled stamps.
		The stamp hinge may not seem like much, but all good stamp collections are built upon them and hinge sticking is the essential craft of all stamp collectors.

	Grading Stamps
		Stamps like this are often collected until a better one come along but unless its a hard to find or valuble stamp these dont hold much value.
		The first stamp which is often desirable to most collectors has a very faint cancel and is also neatand clean, the only drwback is that the cancel crosses over the main subject matter of the stamp, Her majesty.
		Stamps yellow because of acids in the paper, natural oils in our fingers can enhance this greatly which is why you should always use stamp tongs to handle yours stamps.

	Philatelic Foundation
		To make the removal job easier, the stamp is put into a very damp environment where the gum on the stamp is actually liquefied, that is, made completely liquid or melted, just as it was when first applied.
		On the earlier issues of United States stamps, this gum tended to be rather thick, and the gum was intended to be applied entirely across the sheet.
		The hinged stamp was gummed from side to side, while the regummed stamp was gummed top to bottom.

	An Introduction to Stamp Collecting
		Stamp collecting's charm is its individual, tailor-made freedom to fit the desires of any collector for as much as he wishes to spend in time, money and effort.
		Don't lick the hinge as though you were licking an ice cream cone; merely a touch of the tongue is enough to hold the stamp properly.
		Stamp hinges were devised ages ago so that stamps could be affixed to album pages, yet could be peeled off later with no damage.

	Stamp Collecting As A Hobby by Kraig J Rice
		A stamp hinge is a small, folded, rectangular piece of paper coated with gum on one side.
		Stamp hinges are not expensive and come in a packet of 1000 or so at a time.
		Greasy looking stamps may indeed have had an oily substance spilled on them at some stage, or else the greasy looking mark could be caused by the gum having penetrated through to the face of the stamp in odd patches.

	Selecting a stamp album (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		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.
		A stamp hinge is a tiny bit of gummed glassine paper that many collectors use to affix postally used stamps to album pages.

		Optional are: ultraviolet light (to identify phosphor bands and therefore varieties), a watermark detector, a stamp identifier (to identify country of origin), a colour chart, a perforation gauge (variety identification), a catalogue (allows one to place stamps in the binder according to catalogue number), a check list for listing your stamp wants, stamp drying book.
		To apply a hinge put moisture on the long piece of the hinge, place the hinge on the page where you want the stamp to be, moisten the short piece and then place the stamp on this piece with the hinge positioned high and in the centre of the back of the stamp.
		However, some stamps are expensive and it is better to have one that is not perfect rather than none at all and replace the not so perfect one when affordable.

		Specialists usually have all of the common stamps in their field, but they are searching for the rare varieties and may be willing to pay 70 to 100% of catalog when they find them.
		General collectors are willing to use damaged stamps as fillers until a better condition stamp can be found (as long as the damaged stamp is cheap).
