How do you keep your souvenir sheets? Nov 11, 2013 15:01:41 GMT -5

I was asked how I keep my souvenir sheets or SS. So I thought that would be a great question to ask on Stamp Bears. I use these yellow dealer pages to keep the few SS that I have. A dealer gave me a large number of these as a gift. I like these for my SS or a block of mint stamps.
I place the SS in my stamp album under the country with the Scott number. Then I keep a list on the computer of the SS with the price I paid and how many of each I have.

Please share with us your ideas on SS storage.

If you have a lot of S/S's that are of varying sizes, the latter is cheaper (my opinion).

Most of my sheets are worth little or have already been hinged. Those usually get hinged into the albums. I do have a few that are a bit more valuable, and those are stored in either Vario pages, glassinines, or nonacidic sleeves which are mounted in albums.

Most all of mine are Mint therefore I put them in Mounts and place them in my American Heirloom Album. Used ones I use an adequate number of hinges to hold them and put them in my album but like I said I only have a couple used ones.

Depends on the size of the sheet. If the sheet is smaller than US Letter, it goes in a mount and gets mounted in an album. If it's too big to mount on a US Letter page, I print out a custom page with a colour image of the stamp and a not telling me the page of the "sheet album" it is in.

My "sheet album" is an Itoya 9x12 art portfolio:

I use clear acid free photo corners and mount them on acid free cover stock, 3 hole punched and in the country album they should be in. No need for hinges or anything like that. The corners are cheap, too.

Thing is, it does tend to cost a bit after a while! But you can fit sheets on both sides, which ends up saving space in the long run.

The used ones and the ones that have already been hinged are hinged into the album. The *NH ones, I use clear mounts. I take a strip and split it in half horizontally, trim it to the width of the sheet, then mount the sheet with one half-strip on the bottom, and one half-strip on the top. The really, really big ones, I use clear 1-3/4 inch clear mounting corners.

What an amazing number of different techniques for
mounting souvenir sheets! I particularly liked
Craig`s because it accommodates just about ANY size
of S/S, though I hope he puts some kind of acid-free
plastic over the part that is not covered by the
mount.

I use Showgard, or Scott's, or Hawid mounts that have been tested and proven okay, Kannik. And the corner mounts are also archival quality. You can find them at art or picture-framing shops. And yes, I do protect the uncovered portions of the mounted souvenir sheets if they're worth more than a dollar.
