I trying really hard to make 2007 pages for my Community US Stamp album.
And it's slow going. Much slower than I would like it to be.
Descriptions are always a huge PITA, but I really like them.
Another issue I have is stamp sizes. A lot of US Stamps are standardized in terms of size. But the souvenir sheets usually aren't, which means I need to get the stamp in, get a mount to fit it and then measure it.
I've been at this 2007 supplement now since Thursday. I've made 4 trips to my local stamp store to get stamps or mounts. And I've needed to deal with the definitive varieties. I am on PAGE 17 of the supplement and I am only about 3/4 of the way through it. 17 pages in , and I still have 4-5 pages to go. And I need to order in some stamps from eBay, so I get the right sizes for stamp boxes.
I'm probably at least 2 weeks away from releasing this thing. I wanted to get it on the website before I went to bed tonight, but that's not going to happen.

East Germany was good for that, and I've since learned recent New Zealand is the same! I'm glad East Germany is no more and that I cut New Zealand off at 1991, with only a few I like thereafter!

The nice thing about collecting a Communist country is that there is a definitive end to the country.
