Stamp COLLECTOR

Stanley Gibbons Stockbooks

For beginners or for less-favoured or unsorted stamps in more advanced collections you can’t go wrong with the Stanley Gibbons stockbook.

It looks very nice (in red or blue) and delivers on function with glassine inserts to hold your stamps without hinges and interleaved pages of the same material to keep stamps apart.

Stanley Gibbons are a leading name in stamp collecting for good reason. This goodvalue album in 8, 16, or 32-page versions does everything right. You can’t have too many of these practical albums.

Lighthouse Hingeless Albums

In similar quality bindings to Davo, Lighthouse albums are wonderfully made and perfect for British collectors.

Their printed albums cover all the basics -acid-and wood-free ivory 170gsm paperand follow the Stanley Gibbons Great Britain Concise catalogue.

Annual supplements for the preceding year are published each May.

Davo Printed Albums

You can feel why Davo albums are so highly rated as soon as you pick one up. They are heavy, with padded binders and 170 gsm paper.

Their philatelic know-how is good, and you can try to complete more than 70 national or themed volumes. You should be aware that many Davo albums are “simplified” collections that may not include every stamp in a national catalogue.

They’re printed with indicative illustrations with a crystal clear mount for each and every stamp.
