Hi all hope your day/night is going ok, I'm new on the group and just for a bit of fun you can pick a shelf and item from my GB stuff and I will show a page or 2 from whatevers in it. For example left 3 rows down 3rd Album, you can also ask for whatever is in my Top coloured to sort boxes, happy picking 😆  |

Thanks but it needs work, I've just ordered some more stockbook and Grande albums so should fill those odd gaps, ps if anyone's wondering the white things are bags of silica.

I saw those silica bags and was impressed! What a nice, neat, clean collection! Are these color coded? Wittybebop Ok, let’s take a peek at the first green album from the left on the top shelf below the boxes… vikingeck , Alex I bet you would much rather get called in to assess a collection like that instead of the something like the last one you described, eh? |

The majority aren't colour coded but I've just ordered 3 in blue for Machin cylinder blocks, so I can start to put in a quick grab order, instead of looking at my catalogue.
Unfortunately I have to now go to work so won't do any pics tonight, I can't take any devices into work and if could the WiFi is unusable 😔

wow, thank goodness my room doesn't go on show - half my stuff is on the floor - this shows what we should all aspire to - very well presented.

Lovely! I simply ADORE collections that show regular issues PLUS variants neatly arranged on stockpages. Sooooo much more interesting - I feel like I’m learning something perusing collections like yours. I would bid the moon on such a collection - so much more than a plain Jane one of each!

Thanks for the kind words, I don't go all out on collecting it's just as and when sometimes I can leave it 3 years then get back into it for a while.
I used to just do the Lighthouse dark green stockbooks but then after about 10 years found out that they had stopped the dark green 😭 so had to go with another colour, I've now got to the stage where I need to put into other colours for faster reference,so the next 3 albums will house my Machin Cyl blocks only which will free up other books to continue with the Commemoratives hopefully 👍

Late this week but I'm doing a PAS pick a shelf again, if anyone's interested pic another book this will be changed next week as new stockbooks have been added into the mix (Blue), happy picking and keep stamping.
One interesting thing I noticed are my early Commemoratives you could get 10 years in a 64 page Stockbook and now if your lucky 4 years as they have miniature sheets every other issue 😔
