Stamp Scanner

I have finished scanning the contents of my Australian Stamp Album.  I now have 1150 stamp images which took me about three weeks to scan, requiring around 3 hours per day.  I used a 600 dpi setting which produces a good result as seen below. Other settings like 1200 dpi were possible but I would have been at it for another 3 weeks.  As it is, there are still many stamps to go, I just don't have them yet.  In 1977 I had a catalog which shows there were 433 Australian stamps that had been issued up until that time.  Last week I received the latest 2017 catalog which says Australia has now issued 3459 stamps and that does not include the territories which is approximately an additional 1500 stamps. So if you collect one mint and one used copy of each stamp, I will need space for around 10,000 stamps.
