<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 3738765, member: 10461&quot;]I have some surplus pages <a href="https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/certified-lighthouse-pages.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/certified-lighthouse-pages.html" rel="nofollow">like this</a> which I never used, and two binders I bought for the purpose.&nbsp; Sent you a PM.</p><p><br /></p><p>Though those Lighthouse brand pages are sturdier and more popular with a lot of folks, I switched to Eagle brand pages because they suited my needs more.&nbsp; (But the Lighthouse albums are superior, so I use Eagle pages in a Lighthouse album.)</p><p><br /></p><p>The reason I do this is because the Lighthouse pages, which fully enclose the slabs, have to be dismounted and popped open to rearrange the slabs in them, whereas the Eagle pages allow you to pull individual coins out or put them in without having to dismount the page from the album.</p><p><br /></p><p>There is a tradeoff there.&nbsp; For longterm durability, you&#039;re probably better off going with the Lighthouse pages, since the Eagle ones tend to suffer from plastic fatigue on the bands which hold the slabs in their otherwise-open slots.&nbsp; (Or so I&#039;ve been told- I&#039;ve never had a problem with that myself.)</p><p><br /></p><p>I keep my slabbed coins in a double-row Intercept box inside my safe-deposit box for 95% of the time.&nbsp; I just have the albums for a more appealing display option when I&#039;m traveling and doing show-and-tell.&nbsp; So I personally prefer the Eagle pages for this, as they make rearranging slabs within the album a bit easier.&nbsp; And when I&#039;m doing show-and-tell, a person looking at my collection can take a single slab out of the album to look at it without having to dismount and pop open the whole page.</p><p><br /></p><p>If your coins are going to live in the album all the time, however (if you have a big enough safe, for instance), I&#039;d go with the Lighthouse pages.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of this was covered in a previous <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-latest-storage-and-display-solutions-for-a-collection-containing-both-slabbed-and-raw-coins.335987" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/my-latest-storage-and-display-solutions-for-a-collection-containing-both-slabbed-and-raw-coins.335987">thread</a> I posted.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
