I have a complete set of ten (200 stamps on 20″ x 24″ sheets) of the National Parks issue (Scott 756-65). What’s the best way to store them flat at a reasonable cost without too much risk of damage? My choices I’m considering are (1) mounting them in 22″ x 28″ picture frames or (2) storing them in a poster binder with 24″ x 36″ pockets. The former is kind of expensive, the latter poses greater risk of damage. Any thoughts appreciated.

I’ve used art portfolios similar to this to store large sheets and press sheets.

The latter would be best in my opinion, I would recommend a sheet of carboard (archival quality) similar to what people call oaktag as a stiffener, so as to prevent damages such as folds, crimps, etc.
