I decided to hunker down and start mounting all my modern PRC stamps I've been storing in a stock book. I grabbed the stock book, opened it, and found only 2 pages of souvenir sheets and 1 page with just a couple of sets on it. Where are all my pages of sets and singles? I must have transferred them to another book while I was placing them in catalog order. I grabbed another stock book. No PRC.
Let's see I found a couple of pages of Germany, once, in the middle of my Algeria stock book. Let me check all my single country books. Still, no PRC.
Now, I'm really feeling bamboozled. Did a PRC specialist break in to my home and steal only those stamps? Finally, at my wits' end, I grab my China album and flip through it. Holy cow! Guess what I found. The stamp fairy had come, at some time, and cut all the Showgard mounts, inserted the stamps, and mounted them all in my album. I saw page after page of mounted stamps. It must have been the stamp fairy, 'cause I don't recall having done it.
Well, that's one more task I can check off my list.
