Mystic Stamp Company 450 Clear Mounts, Drop-top, containing 9 Different Sizes

This stamp mount Value Pack contains 9 different sizes of clear, pre-cut, drop-top mount packets. Mystic Mounts are a safe haven for your stamps – sturdy “envelopes” that gently surround your stamps. Mounts preserve your stamps and prevent damage from common threats like fingerprints, dust, creases and tears. Mystic Mounts beautify your stamps and give your collection a neat, professional look. Your stamps are held securely in place inside a crystal-clear protective pocket. The correct mount size depends on the height of your stamp. For example, a stamp measuring 36 millimeters in height requires a 41-millimeter mount. We’ve added a small extra margin of space to protect your stamps. If your stamp falls between two sizes, select the larger sized mount. For your convenience, you can also measure in inches, round your measurement to the nearest 1/16th of an inch, and match it to the nearest mount size. You can always head to Mystic Stamp Company's website and head to the Discovery Center to watch out guide on How-to-Measure-Stamps-for-Mounts. Single precut mounts are the easiest to use because there is no cutting. However, if no precut mount exists for the width of your particular stamps, you may need to buy strip mounts. Clear “drop end” mounts are welded on one side only. Drop mounts don’t hold stamps as securely as split back mounts, but they are nearly invisible on an album page. To use a drop end mount, first locate its dull side. This is the back. Insert your stamp into the mount to make sure it’s the proper size. The seam should be at the bottom. Remove your stamp and lightly moisten the entire back side of the mount. Place it in its proper position on your album page, and re-insert your stamp. To fully protect your stamps, we recommend applying stamps and mounts to only one side of your album page. Mounts placed on facing pages may tangle, while mounted stamps placed front and back can weaken the page. Mystic Mounts are archival-quality, which means they’re made of the same material museums use to protect their philatelic items. Because they’re archival-quality, our mounts are acid free and contain no additives or softening agents. Plus Mystic Mounts don’t shrink or discolor over time – giving you years of service for pennies apiece!
