Hello all,
I'm new to philately (although I collected a few times as a little kid), so I want to share my first purchase of a stamp album. In this case, for my France Collection.
I was on the look for a printed hingeless album that would reflect Yvert & Tellier catalog's chronological order. I chose to use Yvert & Tellier Catalog for the sole reason that they're French and must know about French stamps (my not-very-sophisticated beginner collector's rationale).
Ideally, I wanted an album that would also add context to the stamps and what they represented—something like what Mystic does with their Heirloom Albums, or what a lot of you genius experts do with your own designs. But I didn't find anything of the sort for France.
So, since I was already following Yvert & Tellier's Catalog, I concluded that Yvert & Tellier's albums would be a logical choice.
I decided to go for the Yvert & Tellier Supra Max range of albums since they're hingeless, with simple transparent mounts for each stamp, nice-looking binders, and capacity (in theory) for 120 pages each.
I placed the order on Yvert & Tellier's website on Jul 30th and impatiently waited for the order to arrive. Which it just did.
I wanted to share with you guys the unboxing experience of my first stamp album. Here are the pictures:
The Yvert & Tellier packaging. Which I thought it was really neat, with the philately theme:
Box is open
The box's content:
2 sets of pages:
The Binder:
The Pages:
Binder with the Pages
In theory the binder can hold up to 120 pages. These is how it looks with 94 pages:
And that's it for the unboxing of my first ever stamp album. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did.
I think there's one thing left to do now...
Happy collecting everyone!
Eric
