[QUOTE="John Burgess, post: 4978261, member: 105098"]I feel ya on that, If I upgrade the folders I have to nicer condition ones for the "folder collection", I'm still keeping the ones I had as a child, maybe start using them again too at some point! I stopped using them because they were getting worse and worse and I didn't want to destroy them further and, of course the newer albums are really nice. this is sort of a side project collection I started after moving into the front and back view albums because it so much nicer and less removing of the coins, and this version of the type set has become my white whale or holy grail, the problem is every one I happen to come across is in really bad shape and I've passed on them. Because it was oversized they were all in much worse shape than the normal size folders after 80 years of life. lol. that folder also cost a dollar in 1943 when the regular sized folders were 25 cents, it didn't sell well which is why a year later they went to the two folder set version in the standard size with a small denomination folder and the large denomination folder and split it to an 9026A and 9026B for 25 cents each. also there was a 9026C that was the booklet for the set, then there's a slip cover, I can't figure out if that came with one of the A, B, or C, or if it was it's own part number, but I think it was with the booklet. I don't think they do the booklet or the slipcover anymore and just make a newer version of the A and B. Anyways, the 9026 A-B-C sets are the more common and much easier to find version, as it stayed like that from 1944 onward.[/QUOTE]
