Here is a great storage solution for your stamps from @arobwraps - “Rifle ammo boxes are perfect for storing/organizing your small-medium sized stamps! Rifle ammo boxes are pretty inexpensive and just one box holds 50+ stamps. I also like to throw in a couple gel silica packets to keep the moisture out of the box and prevent my stamps from rusting.”
This tip was featured on episode 5 of my podcast "The Tip Made Me Buy It" you can give that a listen on Apple Podcasts or Spotify! This is such a great solution as the little compartments are perfect for storing the stamps and if you haven’t seen the silica bag tip...save those babies and put them everywhere! They help prevent rust on tools and tarnish on jewelry! Thanks for sharing!
