Advantages and Disadvantages
- As more stamps are acquired they can easily be rearranged.
- Large gaps need not exist, as may happen with a stamp album that has fixed spaces for each particular stamp.
- There is no space for writing notes - some collectors do their write-up on a piece of paper and insert it behind a stamp or in an adjacent row.
- Stamps are not affixed so they can fall out, or become dislodged, if dropped or bumped hard.
- Stockbooks are less suitable for display since the stamps can fall out or be mishandled.

Famous quotes containing the word advantages:
“For, the advantages which fashion values, are plants which thrive in very confined localities, in a few streets, namely. Out of this precinct, they go for nothing; are of no use in the farm, in the forest, in the market, in war, in the nuptial society, in the literary or scientific circle, at sea, in friendship, in the heaven of thought or virtue.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
