Now for organizing these precious stamps. I purchased 1-inch Martha Stewart Binders with the plastic inserts at Staples. The inserts work perfect they have a smaller size too which are perfect for the minis (4 to a page). They also had brown or red binders. Then I went on-line to different websites and moved the pictures of each image into a word doc, formatted the page, printed and put the collection and the name of the stamp under each image. Lastly, I organized them by collection. It works wonderfully no more rummaging through boxes. I hope this helps! If you have any questions feel free to e-mail me.
