Measuring Stamps for Mounts

Many stamp collectors have problems ordering the correct mounts for their stamps. In this video, you'll learn how to measure your stamps and determine the right-sized mount. All you'll need is a ruler with millimeters to measure your stamps. We recommend the Linn's Multi-Gauge, which also allows you to measure perforations and cancels. www.mysticstamp... This video shows you the difference between finding mounts for traditional, water-activated stamps and self-adhesive stamps on backing paper.

Very informative information. Beginners, so-so and advanced may or may not have known how to cut a mount. Thank you! AZ

How do I determine correct Show gard mounts to display plate blocks for 6, 8, 10, 12 and 20 stamp plate blocks?

We philatelists know getting the right size mount is very important.

I think the explanation is overly complicated. If you measure the stamp height and it measures 40mm high, you need a 40mm or 41mm mount. You may need a slightly taller one for some stamps. The mounts are not sold by overall mount size but the size of the stamp the mount will hold. (Just like you buy shoes). The measurement is the foot size not the shoe size. If you buy strips, just cut to desired width. If you buy precut you would get a 25x40 in the example in the video. If you are creating your own pages, you need to know the exterior dimensions of the mount.
