Unlike Steiner who distributes his album pages on CD-ROM or via download, Scott plans to sell customers the tens of thousands of original letter press metal cuts and type used to print the Browns. According to Scott’s press release, their market research has proven that collectors of the first one hundred years of philately want to create albums using a complementary technology. “Sure,” a Scott executive explains, “we could have gone with something experimental like dot matrix, but our company wants to be cutting edge, not bleeding edge.”
Price on request. Some assembly required. Does not include printing press. Shipping extra. (P.S. Scott is serious about the cutting edges; don’t hurt yourself.)

I'll grab the z grill metal cut, so no one has to worry about completing their collection.
Jim, great idea. Could you also get rid of that pesky magenta British Guiana?
Do you have any comment on the plan of several philatelic supply companies (Harris, Allsyte, Scott, Steiner, Eschenbach, Lighthouse, and Minkus) collaborating on a single mega-album? I understand that they're calling it, with a tip of the hat to us collectors, the Hassel'm Album
Bud, I think the possibility of multiple stamp companies collaborating on anything is too weird even for April 1st. But if they did, I think you've nailed the album Title.
