Album order, notes, covers, and certificates reveal the collector’s intent.
The practical lesson
- Photograph each page.
- Keep loose labels with their items.
- Inventory before selling or reorganizing.
What to do next
Photograph the object, preserve its context, convert the description into measurable traits, and compare only genuinely similar items.
