VF ee I 0 I I I EEE EER a> ¢ DALLAS, PENNSYLVANIA ® For Stamp Collectors © By EARL P. L. APFELBAUM Unused stamps are undoubtedly fresher and richer in color and eye- appeal than used stamps, but to the collector they present much more of a problem in being prop- erly cared for. The reason. is that the gum of stamps is subject to climatic change in a far greater de- gree than paper and ink. When humid hot weather sat- urates the air with moisture, glue absorbs dampness and can become wet enough to stick to any surface. It is obvious that a collection of unused stamps must be stored where there is a minimum of moist- ure and no pressure on the stamps. Various de-humidifiers are avail- able which will take most of the moisture from the air within a closed compartment such as a chest or closet. They are inexpensive and afford excellent protection to gum. Albums with unused stamps should never be laid flat but always stood on end and not placed in a tight bookshelf. “ ICollectors of entire sheets of stamps should store them between glassine paper and be sure that no heavy weight or pressure IN OPERATION blocks . . .

A good plan is to dust the album pages with talcum before placing the stamps on them. The use of these guides will, in most cases, result in well - preserved stamps. If despite all the possible care, the gum sticks to a foreign surface it becomes a task for an experienced professional to save the stamps with their gum. Moisture must be used in the same amount that caused the trou- ble in ordei to rectify it. Usually the stamps and the material to which they are stuck are placed in a tightly closed box which has a high humidity caused by saturated felt or cotton. After about thirty minutes the moisture usually has wet the gum enough for the stamp to be peeled free. The gum peels with the stamp. As the gum dries the stamp will curl up; at just the right minute the stamp must be placed in an envelope and pulled over the sharp edge of a desk or table in order to break the crys- talline pull of the gum on the paper. All this sounds complicated to the inexperienced, and the process is indeed not simple. The best plan is to take such good care of the stamps in the first place that they are well preserved and won't stick. The people who have the most trouble are those who buy sheets of stamps from the post office with the idea of holding them for rising prices but who never consult with experienced stamp dealers about how to store the sheets they have bought. Learning is needed in every pur- suit, and stamp collecting is no dif- ferent from other things in this re- spect.
