An apparatus for collecting sheets into sets, having a main supply station (16) and at least two insert supply stations (17-20). A first one of the insert supply stations (17-19) is arranged for supplying sheets to a first position on a conveyor track (5) and a second one of the insert supply stations (18-20) is arranged for supplying sheets to a second position on the conveyor track (5) downstream of the first position on the conveyor track (5). The insert supply stations (17-20) each comprise a stacking position (46) arranged for collecting sheets, received piece by piece, into a stacked set and for feeding the set. At least the sheet supply track (6, 53-57) of the second insert supply station is provided with a waiting position, which is arranged for receiving a set coming from the stacking position (46) and holding the received set in readiness while in the stacking position (46) a next set (2) is being collected.
