An album used to temporarily store stamps before they are combined in a permanent album. This item is also known as a "stamp organizer". The pages of the album contain rows of paper or plastic strips that hold the stamp and keep it in place. Most manufacturers offer albums for sale with black or white pages, and usually transparent sheets of paper will be combined between the pages in the album.
