Organize Your Stamps and Choose an Album

Most stamp collectors not only accumulate stamps, but also enjoy arranging them in an attractive, organized way for easy viewing. By doing this, you’ll have a collection to be proud of and protect your stamps from damage.

You can organize your stamps any way you want. Many collectors organize by country (US, Spain), region (Europe, Asia), or topic (animals, space).

A frequently asked collecting question is, “How do I choose a stamp album?” To help you make this important decision we’ve put together the chart below. Most collectors of US stamps use an illustrated album. It makes collecting easier. If you collect worldwide stamps, you might want to use an unillustrated album as there are no worldwide albums illustrating all stamps issued.
