Featuring the quality brands of philately is very important to us at iHobb.com as we very much want to offer confidence in the albums that we sell. A stamp album decision is a long-term commitment that is not easily reversed, even if finances are not an issue (and when are finances not an issue?)
One of our top sellers is the DAVO United States Album, a classic design ‘hingeless’ album, meaning that the mounts for each stamp are already placed in the album ready to receive your collection.
Davo printed country albums have been produced in Holland since 1945. Davo is based in Deventer. Davo albums are a standard for high quality European craftsmanship that lends an air of distinction to your stamp collection.
The Davo United States ‘Luxe’ hingeless album is designed for the serious, advanced collector but is practical for all collectors. With its luxurious look & feel giving your collection archival protection and a touch of class. The Davo printed country album ‘Luxe’ is bound in a luxurious 2-post album bound in navy blue and embossed with the United States Crest on its cover and spine; housed in matching slipcases to keep both binder and collection in pristine condition. The album has a space for each stamp and with crystal clear protective mounts affixed for direct, safe and convenient insertion of your stamps.
Page stock is an extra heavy paper (170 gsm.), acid free of course, and the prepositioned mounts are archival safe, and free of softeners that would damage stamps
Each year in the Spring, annual supplements are published to keep your collection up-to-date. And, called the Extra Supplement, there is an addendum supplement with pre-mounted spaces for the individual stamps separated from setenant blocks. An added feature for those collectors so inclined.
A closing thought on hingeless albums. They are, of course, more expensive than the standard album, initially. But and I must admit that I have not actually run the numbers, the cost of a standard album PLUS all the mounts needed for a collection must get very close to the cost of a pre-mounted album. And there is consideration of the time required to cut all those mounts, and in the end the DAVO sure looks good with pre-cut mounts perfectly placed.
DAVO is one more example of the iHobb.com commitment to bring the world’s best brands to collectors.
