Thanks, looks great. If anyone out there has one of these could one send a scan of one early page, I'm curious how they handle the early series. Also, I assume they do airmails, newspaper tax, postage due, stamp tax and special delivery. I'm also curious if they do the many Cuba souvenir sheets that I seem to have almost all of. I can't seem to find many pictures of early Cuba pages on line.

I have a really old album that seems to be a Scott album (from the format of the pages). It is in Spanish. It is currently housed in a Schaubek Springback album, just it was obtained it in a flee market in Cuba. This may just be accidental, because the pages are definitely punched for two post albums.
What is unique is that it is in Spanish, and covers only the first two eras, Spanish, and US(partial), so from 1855 to 1899 only. More unusual is the fact that the iconic Scott page design is not in black but in a light brown color. And the pages have descriptive text, as you can see from the attached scan. I have no idea if you can still get such album. Was it issued in Spain, or in Cuba? Personally, I love it, and it could be worth digging into its availability somewhere?! Below is a photo from Page 1.

Thanks to everyone for your help. I ordered a set of 83 pages from 1855 to 1958 from a person on HipStamps called Stampextras. They look excellent and include all the BOB I collect. The price was very fair and hopefully all will be well, if not... , well we'll cross that bridge later. I appreciate all the suggestions and help. I was even sent a copy of the Steiner pages by one of you. SOR is an incredible group of extremely helpful people! Thanks again!!!

I just got the Cuba pages from Stampextras. They are absolutely perfect, full color for all the stamps and the souvenir sheets are there as well. I'll probably use mounting for everything and it will take quite a while, but it will be worth it. Thanks for everyone who gave advice, much appreciated!!

You can always use Album Easy to create your own personalized pages. That's what I do now. There are some pages for Cuba at the website. That's another option...

My total price for 83 heavy stock beautifully printed pages was $72, and that includes shipping. I doubt if that's much different from the price of the paper, ink and wear and tear on the printer. I know they sell other countries and areas as well. I would not hesitate to buy other countries from this person(s) in the future. The sheer hassle eliminated and labor saved was worth that much!! Of course I do have to hole punch the pages and remount my Cuba collection, a good job for next Winter, or maybe a page a day for the next 83 days.

I am an old fashioned collector who prefers actual albums to put stamps in. I have a huge number of Cuban stamps and am curious if anyone ever put out an album for Cuba alone, not the Caribbean, just Cuba. I don't collect after 1955 so volume I of a set, if one even exists, would be fine. I'm not interested in printing my own pages or using stock books, not my thing!! I just want to know if any company ever printed an album. At the moment I am using Vol I, II and III of Scott's International but, since they leave out so much, I have stamps stuck everywhere. I could use spare pages but I would like an album with spaces left for all the stamps. Can anyone help with some information?
