<p>[QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 790379, member: 4552"]I think you should do a little more checking on that one.

You could do the same with many of the others. And don't forget that Whitman has been bought out by Harris so you would want to check where they make theres too. </p><p>I'm a Whitman Album person. I really can't see any advantage of Dansco over any of the others. I've had all types and since I've already got well over 100 Whitman Albums, not really in the mood to spend all that money on albums just to make a change when that money could be used for coins. </p><p>I see no difference in quality in any of them. And for thoes that like the appearance of Dansco, there too I see no reason for appearance since probably 90% of them are hidden from view somewhere. Many are in safe deposit boxes and no one sees them there. Many are in a safe in a basement so no one sees them there either. To me the appearance of an album that no one sees is redicuous. </p><p>The one thing I do like about Whitman Albums is the large variety of blank pages, blank covers, ease in purchasing those as well as the press on numbers/letters, additional plastic slides, etc. With such items you can make your own Albums of whatever you want. Another feature is the size of the Albums where if you want you can add many more pages. Example is Lincoln Cents. Mine is now 9 pages and still room, not easily though, for one more. With this 20 different Lincoln Cents, needed that. Also, many other features like being able to put a variety of coins in one Album such as my Liberty Head/Buffalo/Jefferson Nickels in one album. No proofs of course. </p><p>For me it's way to late to even considering changing to any other one especially for the cost of doing that. And for something that no one sees?
