Hey Gang,
Newbie here...started a worldwide collection about 1.5 years ago after finding three-volume Minkus Global set offered for free at craigslist.com. I've added supplements from 1975-79 just to freshen it up and would like to keep going, but $100-plus seems a lot to pay for old supplements. Is there another way? I do love supplements because the images act as a quasi checklist, but I understand the collection will never be fully comprehensive. I'm tempted to add pages to 1990 or 2000 (I don't like self-adhesives, so I might cut it off at turn of millennium). But I feel like a sap paying outrageous prices for supplements. Plus, I'm just not a fan of adding stamps to blank pages. I know a catalog set would help with checklisting, but I'm trying to avoid paying hundreds of US$ to achieve the same end. Any perspective you can provide for this wet-behind-the-ear collector would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Erik
