Where in B.C. Canada can I find a stamp album to store my stamps?

Question

I have a few chocolate boxes (minus the chocolates) with stamps from all over the world filled inside that my dad gave me. Some are really old. I want to store them in a stamp album so I can look at them and organize them according to the countries. No one seems to collect stamps anymore, not even the post office has these albums. I am desperate in finding one.

Answer 1

Go to http://www.subwaystamp.com - they have a great variety of albums available. It's best to get a looseleaf album rather than a bound album so you can add pages for newer stamps as they come out.

There are still plenty of people collecting stamps! Here is information about just two of the stamp clubs in BC:

Answer 2

Mystic Stamp Co. sells worldwide stamp albums. So do Arpin Philately and many other stamp companies. Check out their websites at http://www.mysticstamp.com and http://www.arpinphilately.com (AP is a Canadian company). You can Google 'stamp albums' to see even more choices.
People do collect stamps nowadays...but post offices don't.

Do NOT put your stamps in a photo album or a hockey-card album like asknanswer suggested. Please. For your sake. The stamps will be ruined, especially if they're very old, as you say.

Answer 3

Try Chinatown, some Chinatown stores still sell stamps alblum sometimes.

UPDATE:

I found this 'Canadian' website, they sell all sorts of accessories related to stamps, including stamps album and those blank pages (that you can put stamps in)

http://www.arpinphilately.com/products/stamp_albums/pages_sheets/glassine_interleave_stamp_album.html

OR if urgent, like you desperate....
may be you can use hockey card holding page to put stamps in it (in the pockets). Or go to dollar store to buy a photo albums, and put the stamps in it (in the pockets)

*I said, 'if urgent' !!! and you put in gentlely too, and with paper to backup.k?
