What do those of you who have pre-printed albums do with these higher values?

Optics and Heritage may be the guiding principles. If it's a collection to pass on, the content rather than the look may dictate.

I take it you have the Scott International Part 1. It is grossly abridged and simplified since it was originally the Scott International Junior album. The true Scott International Album became the Scott Specialty Albums, and the old Internationals are marketed by Subway as the Big Brown International by Vintage Reproductions. You have a few other options:
1 - use blank pages to mount the stamps on and slip the pages in an appropriate place in the albums
2 - convert to Scott Specialty albums - used albums are available at dealers, auctions and online - dealers may even give them to you once they remove the stamps - new albums are also available
3 - get the Steiner pages and print them out and transfer the stamps to those pages
I have done all of the above. Option 2 became my primary with the Steiner pages secondary. The only Scott Specialty pages that I have been unable to obtain from the Classic Era are some of the French Pacific colonies. No problem as the Steiner pages cover it all.

Mine are the Jr Internationals. There are places for the early stamps of course but I hesitate to put them in the album rather than keep them separate. Perhaps it would be better to just use those spaces for stamps that fit my era that do not have spaces.

If my album has a space for the stamp I mount it in the album without consideration of the stamp's CV.

I do too, but I also put a small blue "x" under any that have CV's $2-$5, a green "x" for $5-$10 and a red "x" for $10+.

Well, I'll have to give it some thought. Right now I have them separate. Thanks guys. Gives me some idea after seeing what others do.

If you want to provide an added measure of protection for the high CV stamps, consider using mounts rather than hinges.

Steve - you must be reading my mind. I was thinking the same thing last night. I'd never hinge these ones even those that have a line that shows a previous hinge.

A Service Dog gives a person with a disability independence. Never approach, distract or pet a working dog, especially when (s)he is in harness. Never be afraid to ask questions to the handler (parent).

My Scott Albums are 1840 to 1943. I'm in a dilemma whether to mount my QVs in the album where they belong or to keep them separate. This is also true of early stamps of countries and those of "dead countries."
