Stamp Collecting Tools Of The Trade Part II Of II
In continuation from Monday…
Stamp Mounts…Stamp mounts are a fantastic way for you to be able to display your postage stamps without disturbing or damaging the original gum that is on the back of your stamp. The back of the mount is coated with gum and attached to the album page while the front is of clear plastic sleeve where the postage stamp can be inserted. Using stamp mounts is a little pricier of an option, but certainly worth it in the end because your stamp will not be altered and can be safely displayed on the page.
Stamp Albums…A stamp album is a book that contains pages specifically designed to display your stamp collection. The pages are thick, the binding is strong, and acid-free paper is used so that your stamps will remain safe. Most stamp albums produced today hold stamps of just one country or region. Stamp albums come in many different sizes. Most collectors use hinges on used stamps and mounts on mint stamps because hinges can leave a mark on the adhesive of a stamp.
