<p>[QUOTE="superc, post: 1824645, member: 44079"]So I put together some full Danzig and Whitman albums. Nice coins in a few of them, EFs and better. Took awhile. I look at completed albums on Ebay and note hardly any sellers write of the coin conditions. Nonsense like, 'lovely album, rare coins, some very nice, shiny.' But I recognize, it is in an album. You would have to pull out all of the coins in those 'press and fit' albums to grade them, then it would be you as the seller saying I think it is an MS 64, and the buyer would say it was an XF 43 and mail it back to you with an XF43 in it and demand a refund. LoL</p><p><br /></p><p>So I see the best solution is to 3rd party slab them. Problem I see is no one I know of makes books comparable to Whitman or Danzig albums but for slabbed coins.
