<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Just Carl, post: 110888, member: 4552&quot;]It appears that coin albums are abundant by brand name in certain areas from what I&#039;ve seen. Here in the Mid West it has always been in the past Whitman. In the West Dansco appears more. Not sure where on Earth Littleton is popular. At coin shows in this area lately I&#039;ve noticed the switch to the Dansco brand. I began asking the dealers why. Don&#039;t know how much truth there is to the answers, but what I&#039;ve been told is Whitman WAS popular in the past in the Mid West because they were made locally in Wisconsin. Now they, like many other items, are made in China and the quality and type of material went down the drain also. Also, on the cheaper push into slot types the glue goes across the entire page that holds the slotted section meaning it also is in the slot where the coins go. This leaves contamination on the reverse of the coins. No one I can find knows where the Littleton Albums are made. The recent reports by many collectors of spots forming on thier coins in Littletone Albums leads me to believe that the glue, cardboard, plastic and paper being used to produce these albums may not be what a coin collector really wants. It would be of interest to find out exactly where Littleton has their albums made. Possibly this kind of post should be also added to the PCGS web site forum for greater exposure in order to help others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
