I'd been looking a couple years ago for a Big Blue album in excellent condition to house my stamps and purchased this locally. I've worked through a lot of Blue albums to add to my collection and this is by far the nicest - perfect for someone looking for a quality place for their collection. In the end, I decided to not go with the Blue album for my collection, so I'm putting this up for sale.
Text block is in great shape, only a few hinge remnants throughout, and binder is solid, too. I haven't seen one in this fresh, excellent condition before. There are a couple hundred stamps, but you'd really be getting this album for the album, not the stamps.
Perhaps the biggest drawback of the Blue album (in my opinion) is how it handles Indian States - just a few blank pages, whereas the Minkus album actually gave each stamp a proper space. The previous owner remedied this by adding the Minkus pages into the album, so you get the best of both worlds!
