Album pages
(for single stamps) Hi-res printable PDF files One of the reasons for creating this website was to force myself to organize our Machins. The end result is a series of album pages catered to different levels of collecting. A checklist of features found in the three sets of album pages appears below. This is just one way to organize your Machin collection. I am not saying that is the best way for you; it is just one method and it works for me. Many collectors will develop their own pages. Many may use stock books, which allows for the easy movement of stamps as new varieties are issued. Aug 17/10: The Intermediate and Specialized pages are still under development. If I could just get another couple of hours out of the clock each day then more progress would happen! Thanks for your patience.
I expect the Intermediate set to be priced at $45 and the
Specialized set at $60 (which will include the Novice set, if desired). You will be
able to "upgrade" from any set to the next for the price difference (no extra
surcharges).
For the more advanced
collector or the collector of bulk used material, you could use these pages as a guide in the initial sorting
of your accumulation. These pages are free for the downloading.
Varieties separated at this 'level' include self-adhesives, the EME-image, perforation differences, printing
methods, and tagging (2-band, 1-band, colour of tagging).
Two sets of of album pages are available: organized by 'type' (that is, within each country, all '2-band' phosphors
are grouped together, all 'center band' phosphors are grouped together, etc.)
and by 'denomination'.
There are about 834 different single stamps included in the 'Novice' album pages.
Intermediate album
The 'Intermediate' album adds a few more varieties that can generally be easy
to 'see': source of the stamp (i.e. coil, booklet pane, or sheet), Head and
country symbol types, screened values. This set gives about xxx different single stamps,
sorted by denomination.
Included here are the different gum types, back prints, each booklet position
(for straight and cut sides), perforation style, etc.
This set of album pages are organized by denomination. All of the various varieties for a single denomination/colour are found on the same page (or, in some cases, several pages!).
