I'm sure you've dealt with this philatelic conundrum. How do you show stamps that are hidden inside prestige booklets and other items?
I compromised and simply photocopied some stamps inside a booklet and put those pics in the empty spots on my Hagnar sheet. I'm sorely tempted to dismantle the booklet, but it was pricy, $35. These were courtesy cancelled and I'm so very tempted to soak them! Darn OCD! LoL!
Some items are so frustratingly difficult to display! What are some of the awkward items in your collections?

Jumbo oversized covers with stamps on both sides!!! I should just toss them but I keep them (for now) in a winter boot box. My accumulation of contemporary covers (just the last three years since I started collecting stamps) and each box is pretty full. OMG. At least they are reasonably sorted. I even have a binder for the best of them.
Example oversize cover (9x12 or so):

One option is to show the booklet and indicate which panes are included and then show the panes which have to be purchased separately and indicate the booklet where they are found.
I realize it is more expensive, but it does get the message across. Shown below are the two booklets from Bermuda with the various panes that are found in the booklets.  |

This is how I handle the france Red Cross booklets. Took a fair amount of trial and error to get the cut-out correct and still hold th ebooklet. Printing both sides, so registration/alignment is important link
in the same thread are others where the booklet was small enough to fit (open) on one page0 and show the stamp panel on the opposite side |

If it will fit in a protective sleeve (8 1/2 x 11 inches) or a Vario sheet (1 or 2 pocket) it will go that in the album. Otherwise, it just gets put elsewhere in a mint sheet size binder.
