Grossman Hygrade America Stamp RARE Album Hardcover 1982-Over 1500 Illustrated stamp areas-ONLY A FEW STAMPS (12-listed below) ARE ACTUALLY IN THIS BOOK!

Rare 1947-1949 Air Mail Post Red 6 cent stamp included!!!

I cannot find this amazing hardcover stamp collecting album but it has spots for all USA stamps ever issued up until 1982. The only Grossman albums I have found are soft cover and do not have this many pages or stamp areas. There are also fascinating stories included in this album! The binding allows for expansion and the exterior of this book is made from covered vinyl. The stamp areas contain all stamps which means a large array of subjects ranging from presidents, prominent Americans, authors, artists, inventors, overrun countries, historic events/places, battles, revolution bicentennial, states, holidays, wildlife, animals, national parks, plants, flowers, trees, architecture, Olympic Games, Space, Americana, Indian masks and pottery and so much more.

There are 6 blank USA headed pages towards the end of the book with the final few pages covering air post, special delivery, registered and certified mail, postage due stamps and an information page for US stamp collectors and the stamp collectors dictionary and ordering information to keep this up to date!

No rips, tears or bends/folds on any page. The outer shell does have two bumps on the back in the cardboard where it meets the spine as shown in the photos. Very minor discoloration from age mainly on the first two and last two pages (feature and copyrights page, the update ordering information page and the two president stamp pages with #1-#40) that show yellow aging spots.
