The easiest and cheapest method to store stamps is placing them in glassine envelopes and storing them in a box free from humidity, light, and heat. This obviously will be of no help when trying to go through the stamps for display or other purpose. Placing stamps in stamp albums helps in easy display of the stamp collection. Stamps can be displayed as per the wish of the collector, by country, topic, or even size, such that the ultimate display is pleasing to the eyes.
Archival stockbook with clear plastic pockets for the stamps: one of the safest means of stamp storage
Clockwise: hinge-mounted stamp, stamp about to be hinge-mounted, stamp damaged by a hinge, stamp hinges
Stamp tongs with rounded tips, to prevent damage from skin oils and rough handling.
The tools and items of collecting all fit neatly on a desk blotter.
Magnifying glass
