The big disadvantage, of course, is not being able to display full sets in one place. <br />Taking apart BB to insert additional pages gets a bit dicey, too. As merely a matter of preference, I prefer pages without quadrilling, which makes getting lines of stamps straight challenging.Budhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18202098671443782842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-20968998959335352262020-02-23T18:07:05.282-08:002020-02-23T18:07:05.282-08:00Steve - thanks for your comments.

I then supplement with quadrilled pages.<br /><br />For a more general intermediate WW collector, the Big Blue pages still will offer quite a challenge.Jimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02024632082262694589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6190925726844102948.post-49791861678321217962020-02-23T15:17:56.178-08:002020-02-23T15:17:56.178-08:00Nice collection of stamps.

Since I have complete sets of almost all the pre-1940 issues; missing just a few ultra-rarities; blank quadrille pages have been the way to go.
