    Here's a neat little website that allows you to make your own album pages in PDF format which you can save. Just add the number of stamps you want on the page one at a time by dimension and then create the page and save it. You can title the page and you can even add a description of each stamp.

    Thanks for the good link, it was easy to understand for a beginner such as myself. Do you have any other easy to follow links?

    That is really quite handy as half the stamps I have, still have the backing paper on them.

    That link is very useful, way to beat the systematic yet accidental destruction of stamps :).

    You guys have posted some really helpful links. I am going to do some research tonight and collect a list of links that I think will be helpful to all of us :) I like the idea of having all the helpful links in one place

    Interesting article. I never would have thought about soaking and taking stamps off of envelopes. I guess you can get stamps from anywhere. I didn't know there was a right way and a wrong way.

    There is no right way or wrong way, people have good results doing it one way and other people have good results doing it another way. I prefer to keep covers intact until I'm sure that removing a stamp doesn't detract from its value. Many people buy kiloware and go through a ritual of soaking stamps and putting them in a drying book. A lot of people find small treasures that go unnoticed in these batches of clippings highlighting the fact that educated collectors have an edge. Little known color variations, coil number rarities and early luminescent varieties often go unnoticed.

    You don't have to soak a stamp. Just keep it in good condition. You can keep it in mint condition by holding with tweezers and putting in a collection book.
