Organizing sets
One of the things I do is make a photocopy of the index page before I cut it up and put all the indexes on the stamps. My computer printer is also a copier/scanner. Then I trim the copy and put it in the bottom of the box. You know it'll fit, because the index page fit. Then you have something in each box that tells you the name of the set and how many stamps are in the set and the best way they'll fit in the box. I also number my sets and put that number on each stamp, along with 1 of 10, or 4 of 8, or whatever. I also put a copy of the index page in my notebook of stamps, in the SU section by category, i.e., holidays, flowers, people, animals, etc. Sometimes it pays to be anal. Hope this helps. Kathy
