Default 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.

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.
