<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gxseries, post: 2062934, member: 4373&quot;]These albums were made almost 50 years ago and have been long out of print. At that time, it just seems Dansco got too ambitious and got bitten too hard. Those were the years where world coins were just too undervalued. Unused albums are essentially &quot;rare&quot; by now. </p><p><br /></p><p>I have no idea how much were made but judging from historical sales - I suspect they would be under ten thousand. Considering these were made 50 years ago - who knows how many were destroyed / thrown out along the way. That said, a lot of these albums when complete - often sell for more than four figures! </p><p><br /></p><p>It&#039;s a real shame - these albums are beautiful and who knows if Dansco knew that their product are made to last. Don&#039;t get me wrong - there were so many alternatives available such as PVC, colorful paper containing sulfur and such. You are talking about 1960s - collectors only started to realize the harm of PVC around 1980s (or I could be wrong). </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m up for a design challenge if there is a publisher interested. Here&#039;s some examples: <a href="http://issuu.com/gxseries" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://issuu.com/gxseries" rel="nofollow">http://issuu.com/gxseries</a></p><p><br /></p><p>That said, I should get serious and finish the scan that I promised a while ago. Next up will be Japan type set 1870 - 1960s.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
