Selecting an Album For Your Stamps I have a friend who always answers your question with a question. That is an important question for any collector to ask.
Stamp collectors are a cross section of our society.
There is nothing wrong about where you are in this range, but where you are is how you should proceed. The frugal types like me are going to opt for homemade albums or used albums. That way more funds are left for stamps, for collecting stamps is the goal. To others, the appearance of a fine, high quality album that will please them by its appearance every day is very important. Most everyone has to find their place in this continuum.
