Now that Machins are a close-ended series, I'm watching a couple of websites where I've downloaded album pages from previously. I'm hoping to find a set of album pages that cover the complete series. Seems reasonable, right? Maybe it's too early for such a set of pages just yet, but I'm sure one will show up. Has anyone seen one yet?
That page seems to offer a pdf of album pages that just might be complete. I see a page of stamps issued in April of 2022 with the QR codes. Can anyone much smarter and more familiar with the series than I am verify that it is complete?

You can just ask Robin Harris, the creator of the pages.

This is the only site I have ever found that offers Machin pages. I have only used the starter pages that were free at the time. I found it to be very comphensive for my needs.

It appears that these pages do contain the final Machins issued in April of 2022. So i guess it's reasonable to assume it's complete for the series, as a basic album at least. That's all I want. I collect them based on color and denominations, plus the regionals. Hopefully the pages in the link are useful to others as well.
I laugh when I think back to when i started collecting in the early '70s, and I thought then that there were an awful lot of those stamps (I didn't know yet that they were called Machins). Little did I know then, that I was seeing the very beginning of the series, and I'm now seeing the end.

Not being a Machin collector myself I have no idea how complete the albums are, however they do include the 2022 datamatrix (barcode) issues.
These albums may also be downloaded in AlbumEasy format allowing for easy customisation. AlbumEasy is free software for creating custom stamp albums.
