Show your DIY album pages

Depends on how egregious the error is. Some, I re-print the entire double-sided page. Others? Meh... I let pass. On some, I scratch out & correct in pen! Now those will eventually be replaced, but they can stay as they are for now.

Pretty sophisticated Jon blaamand and lots of work and nice...    Since my Canada Custom pages would not help you a bit, no need to try to show off !!

Jon blaamand - I posted 2 pages in this thread, on Page 1 and others elsewhere (Canada - France)
This page is an example (cropped for space)  of the simplicity of my Custom Pages with pertinent details at a minimum and other details in my Inventory of each stamp.
One stamp is missing..87xx (precancelled) impossible to find ! I will ask WERT
René

Thanks Jon blaamand - There are 3 of the 85i but of different quality. I was unable to find a No 87xx (precancelled) on Delcampe or Ebay.....it is rare actually but will search elsewhere.
René

Jon - blaamand ...... After thinking about my debut in custom pages - I changed the Map Stamp page (edited previous one)....so I have 2 spare 85i  ......do you need one !?
René
thanks for the critics (+)

85i leaving for Norway tomorrow, Jon blaamand

Exhibition pages qualify as literature (my humble opinion) and deserve more attention and preservation.

Nik nikhil - sent you a PM

@stan64 - Use 170g/M2 and love it - white is good and cheaper - Just albums nobody looks at 
René

Thanks renden, stainlessb and stanley64 for your replies!!

As for mounts and hinges, I think I will follow Mr. firstfrog2013 's late Mom's method of hinging stamps less than $1 and mounting more than $1 .

Also, most probably I will be using the pages which renden sent me yesterday...
So, the holes be punched within the sheet? or should the sheet be of a bigger width?
Or is Protective Sleeves better since no punching is required ??

nikhil - congratulations on your desicion to move from stockbooks to album pages. You needed only 1,5 years to decide, whilst it took myself more than 20 years to reach that same insight 😊

I think stanley64 gave you sound advice, go by material easily available where you are. I'm using 160g ivory paper, that weight seems perfect to me, proper rigid sheets without adding too much bulk to the folders.

Sheet protectors or not? Personal choice. I use them as I find the stamps get more protection so I can flip pages with no concern for stamps getting caught or fall of, as well as leaving more available space for stamps. If using sheet protectors, I would suggest the ones open both at top and side, that makes it so more easy to insert and pull out pages, with less risk of stamp snugging. Again, personal preference.

Hinges? Personally I detest them, but that's just me. If using mounts it gets easier to replace a poor copy for a better one later. But then it's also a matter of availability and cost.

Whatever you do you will probably make your own experiences, trial and error, and arrive at what preference works best for you. The main thing is that you are happy, so do whatever you please to arrive at that place.

Good luck, happy stamping 😊

Stamp mounts are not cheap.

For example, a package of Scott/Prinz 215mm long by 25mm tall (stamp size) lists for $7.99. Most dealers (those with brick and mortar stores) will sell at list price. Supply houses sell for 25 to 35% off list.

For a typical 20x25 stamp, you end up paying about 4 cents to mount a stamp. I prefer mounts since constantly upgrading as I get new material. With hinfes you have to deal with stamp and hinge removal from page. This can be difficult depending on the brand of hinge and your ability to mount with least amount of moisture.  If you use a pre-printed album, you risk damaging the page and not being able to replace.

What I'm using for my custom pages, in case its helpful to others.

67 lb/148 gsm cream paper from Staples, fairly inexpensive, found the ivory colour not quite as nice. Use mounts exclusively, even for the cheap stamps. Due to consistency/re-use of mounts % page. Don't use sheet protectors.
Vario F binders from Lighthouse, 3-ring and punch the pages to match. Really like the high quality of the binders, and order them from Arpin here in Canada (often have them on sale).
For the pages themselves, been through a few steps. Started with Scott International, then moved to Lighthouse, then to Palo, then to Steiner, now finally to creating my own using AlbumEasy . So now I have parts of my collection in each.
My opinions, for what they're worth, on each - Scott Intl - way too much on each page, and mine are the old 2-sided pages looking pretty old and weathered. Don't like how Scott breaks up long-running series onto multiple pages. That being said, still have most of my classic WW in them, because that's what I inherited.
Lighthouse - very high quality, but expensive, but when using Scott #s as main reference, can be a little hard to match up. I did create a cross-reference list to match each Lighthouse Canada pages to the Scott #s, and that helped a lot. For my Germany in Lighthouse, use Michel more so they work quite nicely.
Palo - also high quality, but expensive, especially if you get the pages with mounts. Just too pricey for me to hold a whole classic worldwide collection. Essentially high end Steiner format. So now have some of the French colony collection in those.
Steiner - a great service, well worth the $50 to get all those pages. However, don't like some of the layouts used, find them too busy, also don't like the standard font/issue descriptions. So started modifying the original PDFs but found that too finicky
AlbumEasy - what a great program, easy to layout pages however you like. I roughly follow Scott order, adding/subtracting/rearranging as fits my collection. Keep the layout clean and simple, because that's what I like. I use Steiner pages as a reference to quickly get stamp box dimensions. Pretty happy with that so far, but of course, always room for change and improvement...

Anyways, all of this just my humble opinion, but since we're discussing DIY pages...
