Disc 1 – Worldwide Stamp Reference Pages (Visual Identification Resource)
The first disc contains a large assortment of full‑color printable reference pages showing visual examples of postage designs from numerous global regions.

Together, Disc 1 and Disc 2 offer extensive worldwide coverage for collectors who want a broad visual reference tool.
This disc is ideal for collectors who enjoy exploring international postal history and want additional visual examples beyond those found on the first disc.
Disc 3 – Stamp Album Page Maker Pro (Customizable Album Templates)
