[QUOTE="Dansco_Dude, post: 24904375, member: 147679"]Darn! But thank you for checking :) Please do let me know if you are able to find it! You can check out this CoinHelpU post I made last May :) [URL]https://coinauctionshelp.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=150187#p150187[/URL] There I documented in detail the 240 Dansco albums I had then. Since then, my collection has gone up to 700 albums and folders. I am currently working through and documenting each one. When I do finally get through it, I will post here! For me, the thing I like most about Dansco is its storied history in the hobby. Every older collector I've come across over the years knows about Dansco and many share stories about putting coins in a Dansco and opening the album up decades later to see the coin is still in great condition. There are just so many great and interesting albums out there. So many different and odd foreign albums like the Hong Kong or Swiss Type Set. When it comes to Dansco albums to keep an eye out for, I would say especially keep an eye out for the red Continental Line album series.
