I've been working on my Scandinavia collection for the past decade. Started off working on Finland and Iceland, but got tired of it after a few years, so I jumped to Sweden. The past 5 years, I've been trying to get past the 90% completion mark (not as easy as it sounds for a major stamp-issuing country). My current cutoff is 1988, but that will probably get pushed to 1999 eventually.
Acquired a used KABE hingeless album a couple years ago. I prefer Lighthouse, but the KABE is a reasonably nice alternative. So I will be scanning and posting the pages as I move (and re-ID) my core collection into the KABE album.
For the current cutoff date of 1988, the collection will be housed in a 2-volume 4-post KABE album with volume 1 covering through 1970.
For some reason, I cannot find any of my KABE title pages for Sweden. If I ever find them, I'll stick the picture (here).
Unlike Scott, most European albums/catalogs put the airmail/semi-postal stamps together with the regular postage. But the postage dues, officials... separately. So I will post the "European BOB" stamps in a separate thread.
BTW, this thread is dedicated to Mikey (aka EclecticCollector)?
