Newbie question
I'm pretty much blown away with the amount and variety of stamp collecting
supplies. If you guys don't mind, I would like to ask a few questions from time to time and get your input. My first set of questions a I have a set of album updates that have two holes that are 18.4 cm center to center. If anyone can steer me to a two post type binder that will fit these I would be grateful. (Harris is a bit too narrow). I once thought I saw an Air-Tite type of holder that was made for stamps. Does anyone know about these and where they might be obtained? Thanks for your help. Brian |

G'day Brian,
It is always going to be a personal preference, of course. For me, a two post binder spells trouble. The pages will lean after time, elongating the post holes potentially damaging lots of hard work. I get around this by using plastic slip pages that allow the damage to occur to the cover, and not the page. (I prefer 4 post binders) However, I do use Hagners, which protect the stamps, if you are using home made pages, you will have to ensure the covers are archival plastic. Just a few thoughts. | I'm pretty much blown away with the amount and variety of stamp collecting | supplies.

My solution to 2 hole pages has been, for the last 20+ years, to get a
decent 3 hole punch (the kind with a paper guide and a decent capacity) and repunch the pages. Then you have a far wider choice of binders to put them in. -- Cheers - John Mycroft coryton_at_cobbsmill_dot_com "Brian Oakley" wrote in message ...
