Sometimes one gets lucky. I've wanted to make pages for this beautiful 50-stamp set, but one needs extra-large sheets of paper, and it seems everybody has only full sheets available. Then, I saw a collection of MNH singles on eBay at a "buy it now" price just a few pennies above face value.

Grab grab! So here's U.S. Scott #1953-2002 on Craig-made pages.

Great find!

I like that set. I never finished making new pages for mine, started on some new ones around Christmas time after I received a set for a present (a separated, hinged, mint set).
