6. Sometimes, you just can't save a stamp
.
Some stamps, mostly printed in the last 50 years, are actually self destructing. Either they were printed on a high-acid paper (which yellows and falls apart over time) or the gum used will degrade and discolour a stamp. The best thing to do in these situations is to remove the offending material, if possible, before it does any further damage.

Over the 33 years since Bo Hagner's invention of the Original HAGNER stock-sheets, they have been constantly improved. They are today distinguished for their unsurpassed quality, ease of use, perfect protection of the stamps and their outstanding ability to keep their shape and long life. Long term tests under extreme conditions have shown that Original HAGNER stock-sheets will retain their valuable properties over centuries.- James Bendon Ltd. - links (including Insurance by HW Wood)

Plastics Report for Stamp Use
For those BIA members who may have missed the announcement in the philatelic press recently, the study by the University of Alabama on the safety of plastics for storing and displaying stamps is still available. Dr. William Souder of the Center for the Management of Science and Technology conducted one of the first scientific studies of plastic products for use in the stamp hobby. Dr. Souder, himself a stamp collector, presents results that indicate modern PVC plastics are safer than previously suggested and that much confusion exists in the plastics industry regarding this issue. The report is free and is available by request from:
