As true with any collectors, a good album is going to be your pride and joy. Knowing this, we should have a quality stamp collecting album for our collection. Depending on your personal tastes there is a wide range of options available to you and I'd like to talk a little bit about these.

The biggest factor you should consider when purchasing an album for your stamp collection is functionality. After all, you want to protect them as best you can to insure they remain in exceptional quality. If you have ever collected baseball or football cards as a kid, or maybe you still are a kid , having a sturdy cover and binding as well as durable sleeves are very important.

I remember when I first started collecting stamps and cards as a child; I kept my stash in an old cigar box my grandfather gave me. I thought it was the coolest thing, and all of my friends raved about it when I brought my stamp collection out. As time went on the box got worn and filled up so that I could no longer close the lid.

So after saving my money I purchased a handsome leather bound stamp collecting album and began filling it with my treasures. Today I have several, but I will never forget the first one I had. If any of this sounds familiar to you or you are fresh at collecting, imagine the memories you can make for you and pass along to your children.

Needless to say my stamp collecting album has preserved my hard work and patience that I have endured to get the treasures I have today. Many stores have options available for novices and experts alike.
