<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 86553, member: 4552"]I've been using the Whitman Classic Albums since I was a kid many, many years ago. Never even heard of a Dansco album in this area of the midwest. However, as was pointed out to me lately, that was because Whitmans Blue colored Classic Albums were made in Wisconsin way back when. The quality was very good so they were the album of the midwest. However, I was told they are now outsourced to China and the quality really is poor. I've had problems lately with the glue on some of the pages of the recently purchased ones falling apart. I've noticed the difference at a coin show recently when a dealer had both available. For the same coin the Dansco was bigger, heavier and apparently much better made than the Whitman. The Whitman Album prices were much lower but I'm seriously thinking about switching although I have about 25 Whitman albums now. If you like blue, the Whitman Albums are dark Blue where the Dansco are sort of a brownish. As for availability if there are any coin hows in your area you may want to try one of them for the albums and save on postage, handling, etc.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
