   hhandson to All

   From: hhandson@yahoo.com   
      
   Harris (Liberty), Minuteman (Scott), National (Scott), Mystic   
      
   Which album would you recommend to get for US stamps (other then making yoru   
   own album)?   
   We looked at some at stamp stores.   
      
   Minuteman has Scott numbering....but is not a thick as the Liberty.  Does   
   minuteman have all US stamps.   
      
   Did not actually see a National.  But what reasons would there be to get the   
   National versus the Minuteman?  Saleperson said the National would be   
   several hundred dollars.  Is that true?   
      
   How about Mystic?  Have not seen one.  But the ad says it has Scott   
   numbering, and some color pics for more interesting or valuble ones.   
      
   We adults, just starting, but would want to get something heirloom quality,   
   that would protect the stamps (acid free paper?) and would be generally   
   accepted by collector community.   
      
   What would you vote for and why?   
   a. Liberty   
   b.  Minuteman   
   c.  National   
   d. Mystic   
      
   Your thoughts appreciated.   
      
   Robert.
