   Hi,   
      
   It started with covers - I started "recollecting" these after 25 years away   
   from the hobby.  Now it's spread into stamps themselves.  I'm just a   
   collector looking for a good start, not a dealer looking to build inventory.   
      
      
   WTB:  OLD (used) Scott International Albums Volumes 1 -> 6 with stamp   
   contents - the more (neatly) filled they are, the better.   
      
      
   I'd prefer neat, clean, ready to expand albums.  However, I'm not against   
   buying a sloppy one or two packed with stamps that can be used to expand   
   something else, when I find it.   
      
   I started a couple of weeks ago on eBay, buying some adandoned collections   
   in various albums.  I've purchased a couple of solid, usable items, and I've   
   received some junk.   Thankfully, I didn't pay too much for the junk!  I   
   don't feel I've paid too much for any of it; but I'd like to focus on   
   quality pieces now.   
      
   I've got a nice Vol 2 created out of 2 separate albums.  And I've got a   
   couple Vol 1's coming; we'll have to see what each looks like and how they   
   might be combined.  Volumes 1->4 are most interesting to me.  I've got my   
   scopes on some other material on eBay, however ...   
      
   Often photos are few and misleading, as is the text descriptions.  I've   
   written a couple of sellers with simple questions, like "Which volumes are   
   these?".  I usually get short answers that don't really relate to the   
   question.  Not always, I've found one fellow who's really good.   
      
   I figured it wouldn't hurt to ask here.  If anyone has material that they   
   think I might be interested in, please email me at nknight@mr2ice.com.   
      
   Thanks in advance,   
      
   Nick
