For the people caught up in the MNH stamps how do you mount your samps in your album? Do you mount them face down so to better display that you have MNH examples?
Do you use mounts, what do you think the mounts will do with MNH stamps?
Or do you not use mounts just hindges (spelling) on the printed side down?
Second part self adhesive
How do you display self adhesive stamps to show they are MNH, similar to the gummed stamps?

Hah! Hah! A little bit of satire? Funny, though.
Per Scott, self adhesive stamps are considered to be MNH if they are on the original backing paper, and have not bee repositioned on the backing paper.
All stamps in my albums (used, unused, MNH) are in split back mounts, and face out.

Ah you are too smart for me!
I thought putting the hindge on the printed side would get someone's attention.
Thank you

You're smarter than me! I thought he was serious. I now put everything I get, even used, in my albums with either center opening or top opening black mounting. I know this might seem like a dumb reason, but I think it looks better! Sometimes though the mounting is worth more than the stamp!!

But, I can say that I have seen collections of MNH stamps where the collector collected the stamps with selvage, and hinged the selvage to mount the stamps in an album. That's better than the collection I saw where the stamps were mounted in an album with medical adhesive tape!

"medical adhesive tape"
I was given a collection to look at several years ago where the collector had mounted most stamps with little pieces of folded over tape. Since this was on the backs he assumed no harm had been done. As it was a very low value collection I told him that as long as he just wanted to keep it as something to just look at he was OK. I did explain what he should have done and that he should not expect to get any money for his collection. I assume that, as of now, there is no way to salvage (not selvage!) this type of mess!!

If the stamps are unused, they can be used for postage, or some can be depending which country.

I use Lindner Hingeless Albums for my USA collection (used to 1936, MNH after). If you have never seen Lindner's hingeless pages - they are like a clear plastic stock page attached to the album page instead of individual mounts. You can turn the page over and see the backs of the stamps pretty easily. Of course, I personally admire the backs of 19th postally used stamps if they are nice and clean, can stare at them stamp backs for hours and hours

"Does anyone have large sheets of the Parks issue with 16 hundred subjects"
Do you mean the 1934 series? If so, I have lots in many forms (singles, miniature sheets, line pairs, line blocks, arrow blocks, gutter pairs, center cross blocks and more). But I don't know what you mean by 16 hundred subjects. Could you explain please? I don't have any large sheets but someone did show a full sheet in a post a while ago and someone suggested he frame it because of it's very large size. It contained quite a few mini sheets, maybe 16, but I can't remember!
EDIT: I found the post that I was thinking about but I don't think it has anything to do with your question!

1935, scott #752, instead of 1600 it's really 400 my mistake.

I have both horizontal and verticals perforated gutter pairs of 752 which implies it would have been released in 4 sheets of 100(?) each separated by perforated gutters. My bet is that somewhere out there is an unseparated "sheet" of 400(?). Here's the biggest group I could find on line, a block of 81. I wouldn't call this part of the park series, I would expect that to be #'s 740 to 748 in 1934 which was redone by Farley in 1935, but I could be wrong!! It's happened before!!

If you are so picky about how to display your stamps, do like numismatics do, use clear pages so you can see the front of the stamp, and the back when you turn the page.

It goes without saying, but what the heck I'll say it anyway, the only MNH stamps I have are used for postage.

First part for stamps with gum you have to lick.
For the people caught up in the MNH stamps how do you mount your samps in your album? Do you mount them face down so to better display that you have MNH examples?
Do you use mounts, what do you think the mounts will do with MNH stamps?
