ONE hinged in a page or 'set' of otherwise NH will have the dealer heavily
discounting the whole.

So if I have a NH set, I should use mounts for the whole set and not
just the high values. Thanks, I had not thought of that. I have not
directly bought single NH sets in years, but I have a few of more than
minimal value that were mixed in with other stuff and that I have not
yet added to my albums. That is partly because I do not have the mounts
even for the high values, have have lots of used/hinged stuff to work
with. Perhaps I should most NH material of any value separate in a stock
book. Scattered plastic mounts on predominately hinged pages do not look
all that good.
