I have recently set up a blog to keep track of an ambitious (and likely hugely over-optimistic!) project to attempt to complete a set of Big Blue albums from Part I through Part VII. Only stamps that match the exact album description are included in the albums themselves. Supplementary pages (courtesy of Mr. Bill Steiner) are included for any stamps I have that were omitted from the Big Blue albums. I hope that this will serve as a useful reference for fellow collectors that maintain similar albums. In addition to the Big Blues, I have also added my Zimbabwe and crypto stamp collections.

If anyone wants to follow along or check in from time to time, you can find the blog at: https://bigbluecollection.blogspot.com

re: Completing the Big Blues through Volume VII

A worthy project indeed...i have 10 big blues ending in 1969..many of the pages after 1965 i would have little interest in completing. I keep the big blues as a fall back...when things get slow i can always pull one off the shelf and add a few stamps as i am doing with China of the 1948 era now.

Ambitious to be sure. I enjoyed scrolling through some of what you've already posted - great images.

I managed to get to your blog using the spelled-out link in the text of your posting. It may just be my computer, but I had trouble with the link you included at the bottom of the post. Here's where the link tries to take the user:

That did it. How often are you thinking of adding new posts/new countries?

re: Completing the Big Blues through Volume VII

I hope to post quite frequently. As a Canadian snowbird, I work on my Big Blues when I spend the winter at my place in Arizona so most of the Big Blue posts will happen then. I maintain my Canadian, GB, Rhodesia/Zimbabwe and crypto stamp collections in Vancouver, Canada so plan to post some of that material when I am there. I take most of the summer off for travel but plan to post a few items of interest here and there.
