Can anyone in this group identify this brand of album I've been doing some research and can't find anything on who the maker is or what type of sleeves are in it. There is no Maker name on it other then the RF below anyone know who makes these and what type of material they used in there sleeves ?
Its currency size sheets large size three per page 4X 8 insert size . And nothing on the flag that i know of.
I don't actually have the Album yet u just purchased it on ebay... The guy i bought it from said he doesn't see any makers name on it at all it was his fathers and he bought it a long time ago... ill get more detailed pictures in about 3 days
If it is really old I would be careful with the plastics used in older album pages. It looks in the photo as though they are yellowing. You can still use it for small sized currency if you put your notes in another sleeve and then in these.
Not true - any harmful gas or chemical will pass right through that ~0.015mm gap (at the end of the second sleeve) and affect the collectibles.
I may buy some new pages to put in the album if they look bad when i get it. The binder it self was my main draw to this item.
In the future, it's hard to go wrong with an ordinary 3-ring notebook; D-rings work best. There's all kinds of plastic pages available to fit 3 rings, and they're easy to move around.
True but how about if they are hermetically sealed like the TPGs do it? That's a question and not meant to override your legitimate observation.
Maybe. But sounds ultra-expensive for everyday storage. I do not obsess about air + coins, except next door to a steel mill or a chemical factory. Every proof/cameo/CAC coin, etc., that's ever been graded, before the first slabbing, was exposed...to...air, sometimes for decades and (unlike me) has somehow retained its good looks.
Got the albums today overall very happy with them, Pages are clear altho they do come across yellow in pictures, i still and unsure of the material used but seems good i will still order some thin sleeves to put in in each page as i think it will help protect my notes any recommendations on good sleeves to put in pages ? I also set up one page to see how i like it and overall i like the look and feel of these albums I'm posting below my first set up page and the close up of the logo which is the only thing on the whole album,
The logo is quite similar, but not exactly identical, to the flag of Israel. The six-pointed star on the actual flag is two superimposed triangles, one inverted, with blue horizontal bars above and below. Unfortunately "R F" is the universal acronym for "Radio Frequency," which greatly complicates Google searching.
Many, if not most 3 ring binders contain PVC. Look for the D-ring 'Non-PVC' on the label. Costs a $ or so more, but safer in the long run as the PVC plasticizers can damage paper as well as coins also over time. No use to have around collectibles.
