[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 3256419, member: 77413"]Thinking, thinking... I see Dansco has a "with Proof-only" which has some, but not all, proofs. It goes to 2011 over six pages. Then they have an album without any proofs, which cuts off at 2005, and a follow-on (as you point out) starting at 2006. What they do not have is any album for the proofs by themselves, preferably all the way from 1938 to present. A set of all business strikes is certainly self-consistent and has an aesthetic uniformity without trying to insert the occasional proof along the way. But then comes the question of what to do with the proofs? I have been putting the early proofs in Lighthouse plastic 2x2s with black foam inserts, then putting those 2x2s in trays, and the trays into a leatherette box. This takes up a lot more room than a Dansco. Maybe they should all move to individual storage. That takes up a ton of room. Maybe I should get unmarked Dansco pages and put them in any way I see fit - mixing in the older proofs with that year's business strikes. Then I give up all labeling. I saw a video recently of AirTites that were nickel-sized and snapped into 3-ring binder pages. That would provide the storage density almost on a par with a Dansco. Of course, I would be on my own if I wanted any labelling on that. What's a guy to do?[/QUOTE]
