Now that I've had a chance to finish sorting MaxSold box contents, two tins from the previous Kingston stamp show (another coming up next weekend!), trades from exchange partners and stamps selected from circuits, I've grouped them by continent or colonies and it will soon be Long & Noble (that's starting to sound like the name of a law firm!) Crusade 3.0 over the coming colder months.
The cornucopic crusade contents continuation can comprise:
- checking each zip-loc bag for duplicates and sending the duplicates for disposition,
- sorting each zip-loc into country-glassines,
- checking those sorted-by-country stamps against what's already in my collection,
- and finally albumizing them.
It's impossible to albumize without sorting, and what's the point of sorting if there's no albumizing?
June, 2026 Update - I'm up to G as in Greece. A little detour to sort the proceeds of the local spring stamp show slowed me down. Finding lots of doubles for traders but also lots new and lots of better cancellations!


love the alliterations
