How to store your exhibition-leavs at home

Almost everyone uses exhibition-leaves (without holes and equal margins) instead of ordinaly leaves (with holes leftside , non-equal margins) when they make a leaves for some exhibition. The reason is mainly beauty reasons and leaves are not good-looking when they have holes or non-equal margins.



Problems occur after the return of the leaves. You can't store them in the album because they don't have any holes. You need to get transparent bags with holes , but not easy to find it.



1.Leaf-store case

Some manufacturers are selling Leaf-store cases but I think it is useless. If you use it upright, weight gives negative impact to leaves. If you use it layed, all the weight of the other leaves are on the bottom leaf and it is very bad for the stamps.



2.Use stationery

Some non-philatelic monaufacturers makes good stationeries. But when you use them for storing leaves, unti-dust cases are necessary. Without them, dust blacks your stamps and leaves. You can get only one stationery with dust case in Japan and 132-5C of Kingu-Jimu is it with 100 pockets. You can get one at 3,220Yen at E-commerce site "ASUKURU".



When you store leaves into this products, you shuold be careful not to press stamps and covers.



3.Bosutoku Wide Album Kuria Pocket

This products are not so popular but I think it's the best way. 800Yen for 20 bags. 3,200Yen for 5frames. Even Frank Godden leaves can be stored!
