With the help of Mr. Backman, this liberally illustrated album provides spaces (with Backman numbers) for all of these semi-official issues. See the on-line Tuvan exhibit for more details on these issues. [Sample Page]

The Polish prisoners in four German-controlled POW camps operated sanctioned local posts within their camps. That such interesting and beautiful stamps could be created under such terrible hardship is a testament to the spirit and strength of all men.
This album has spaces for all stamps and souvenir sheets as listed in the Michel Deutschland Specialized 1983/84. Though regularly cataloged in many more recent Polish specialized catalogs, the Michel catalog numbers and descriptions still seem the standard that most American dealers and collectors recognize.

All albums are laid out on 8.5 x 11" sheets, drilled to fit into any US - standard 3 ring binder. There is no need to spend $30-$40 for a proprietary binder with our albums!
Our previous supplier of binders is no longer available. We are currently investigating several options. Meanwhile, all albums are punched to fit in standard 3-ring binders. Rest assured the labeling of any new binders will match in style and appearance to the previous labels.
By March of 2000 I will have new standard albums for Estonia and Latvia (modern and pre WWII), as well as have completed the New Standard albums of Poland. The Lithuanian Society of Chicago have been very supportive of my modern albums of Lithuania, so a similar volume for the pre-war issues is in progress. Specialized albums for German Pleblicites and Saar are also coming very soon. If you have suggestions for new albums, I'd love to hear from you.
