    Great find. When I relax it’s when I have my stamp album open and collecting. Glad you had a great time with your family. As always Happy Collecting

    Pretty nice purchase for a whopping fifty bucks. You can get the smoky smell out of these albums if you put them into an empty washing powder box and turn the pages from time to time. Or just keep them on your porch and turn one page every day. Keep it up, and see you on the next one ! Greets from GER, U.

    The "hateful" Harris Crystal mounts. Supposedly the acetate shrinks over time and hurts the stamps

    Nice find! I really appreciate you doing this. There's just something about your way that just seems so "Down Home".
    Like when you talked about boxing an you said something to the affect of Don't mess with me or I'll nock you out..
    I laughed for about a hour straight.
    It still makes me laugh.
    In a respectful way!!! The enthusiasm an joy of the hunt is what drives me as well. Stamp on my man .
    Thank you Chris

    Try putting the albums in a sealed plastic container with a large container of Ozium for addressing mildew.

    For the mildew use original regular Lysol Disinfectant Spray and spread each sheet out in sunlight to dry, long process but should work 👍👍👍

    good afternoon from a warm and sunny England. I'm enjoying your vids more and more, keep up the good work. Well done for finding some great stamps

    So people offer complete year sets on Ebay, MNH, for very reasonable prices. One seller is offering 1950-1959 complete for $56.

      @silkontheweb  Год назад +2

      Very true... you can also get the USPS yearbooks with the Mint stamps in them for decent prices, if you look around enough

    If you get a musty album should you remove the stamps right away? I received two albums recently that do smell.

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  Год назад +1

      Yes! Typically when you remove them you won't notice much damage at all... and if there used, you can soak them clean if you want to

    @Jabarten Год назад +1

    When you say, smells musty, is it from cigarettes, or from mildew. I hate collections reeking of cigarettes, or cigars, or pipe tobacco..just my views....I almost throw out the vast majority of collections reeking of that stuff......

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  Год назад +2

      Totally agree... and these are smoke, unfortunately. I thought I'd be able to repurpose them but alas... one of the risks of Ebay. Still pleased with the stamps though at least!

    When I’ve had noxious refrigerator smells, putting some wadded up newspaper in refrigerator has often removed the odor. Could take apart these albums and put pages in clean box with wadded up newspaper … worth a try and cheaper than buying Lysol . Nice lot.

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  Год назад +1

      Good advice! I'm going to try... really want to repurpose these......

  • @rogerturner1881
    @rogerturner1881 Год назад +1

    if you think about it if i had these albums 1/take out all the MNH and put them in your collection 2/ use the albums for USED stamps with mounts.

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  Год назад +1

      That's the plan! If I can get the smell out...

    • @silkontheweb
      @silkontheweb  Год назад +1

      Sort of... trying to build the complete USA set in each Davo album. They're real $$ though so I'm doing then in chunks at a time... about as much as Mrs Silk will allow... :)

    Your excitement is contagious and I'm following your quest with great interest. I can't seem to get as excited as you do about the back of the stamp, but that's part of the fun - all collectors are different and that is A-OK. ( VF with a light hinge mark is no big deal for me)

    Better luck next time! Our local stamp shop will often have a bankers box full of albums like this for $20; a great way to build a nice beginning collection, especially if you can find nice album pages.

    Another great video! I’ve had a few items with that smell. I find air and light the best remedy. I just leave it open, turn the pages periodically, and in most cases, it gets to an acceptable level. What are you wanting to do with the albums?

    • @silkontheweb
