Default hinges

Hello friends,
I've read here, long ago about a brand of hinges that could be very easily
removed without damaging the stamps, so they were considered the best
type/brand. Anyone knows?
I remember when I was a child, back in the 70s, being at the local stamp
shop in my town of origin, in the Canary Islands. A girl had just arrived
the shop and was asking something about a huge hinged collection. I remember
having heard the local dealer, a lady btw, telling her that a hinged
collection was not worth a cent. Nowadays I see on most stamp catalogues
that stamps that has been hinged retain part of its value.

greetings,
Pedro
