I won a two sided page of West Irian stamps last night at club auction..but when i go to the Big Blue it did not have enough space around 1963 Indonesia to mount them neatly. Idea, take the book apart and just add the page...simple...except when i put the pages back in the binder..the cardboard began to wear through the fabric of the binder. I guess mom was right one straw too many could indeed break the camels back.Surprise

re: the straw that broke the camels back or the page that wrecked a big blue binder

Time to upgrade! You darn near wore that album out! Surprise

I just bought some binders for the New Jersey cover collection. I had two Staples reward coupons for $15 each. I had been procrastinating about going shopping, and yesterday I received a Staples coupon for $5 off a $10 purchase. So I went for the Tri-fecta!

Two 4" binders at $14.49 each (yea that's too much but they were free in the end)
One 4" binder on sale for $7.49, probably because it's pink, which is fine for me since I like to have all different color binders within a collection.
One pack of 50 envelopes in rainbow colors to get NJ postmarks on! $9.29

Total of $45.76, add in sales tax for a grand total of $48.51
All for $11.41 out the door. Priceless!

Staples has the 2 inch fabric covered guys for $10 each if you buy 3..but they are the D ring and would not help me with the Scott Internationals But i do have six of them with Steiner pages.

philb are you using International 2 post binders? They are not easy to come by in good condition. I just bit the bullet and purchased replacements on a staggered basis from Amos. Depending on how you organize (alpha or chronological) I recommend striking to regular size for handling.
