<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 7282627, member: 10461&quot;]That’s a very handsome display.</p><p><br /></p><p>I loved type collecting and enjoy looking at type sets more than the sameness of date-and-mint collections that have row upon row of all similar looking coins.&nbsp; They are more visually interesting.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now I’ve gone eclectic, and am more of a “buy whatever floats my boat” kinda guy, but let me show y’all something.&nbsp; I think my album display method might come in handy and be adaptable for some of you who want to label your type set slots in slab albums.</p><p><br /></p><p>See how I use <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Platinum-9-Pocket-Trading/dp/B07RRCVV9H/ref=asc_df_B07RRCVV9H/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=385245568472&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=13989096903818952030&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=21143&amp;hvtargid=pla-825144661660&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=&amp;ref=&amp;adgrpid=78287998493&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvadid=385245568472&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=13989096903818952030&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=21143&amp;hvtargid=pla-825144661660" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-Platinum-9-Pocket-Trading/dp/B07RRCVV9H/ref=asc_df_B07RRCVV9H/?tag=hyprod-20&amp;linkCode=df0&amp;hvadid=385245568472&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=13989096903818952030&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=21143&amp;hvtargid=pla-825144661660&amp;psc=1&amp;tag=&amp;ref=&amp;adgrpid=78287998493&amp;hvpone=&amp;hvptwo=&amp;hvadid=385245568472&amp;hvpos=&amp;hvnetw=g&amp;hvrand=13989096903818952030&amp;hvqmt=&amp;hvdev=m&amp;hvdvcmdl=&amp;hvlocint=&amp;hvlocphy=21143&amp;hvtargid=pla-825144661660" rel="nofollow">9-pocket trading card pages</a>.&nbsp; They overlay the 9-slot slab album pages almost perfectly.</p><p><br /></p><p>What you could do is print a label the size of a baseball card and stick it in the slot that overlays your slab.&nbsp; You can fit a lot of information on there.&nbsp; Furthermore, there is space in the back of the pocket for you to also insert the (folded-up) invoice and any old flips or labels and such that came with the coin that particular pocket is overlaying.&nbsp; (Note my middle photo below.)</p><p><br /></p><p>Here.&nbsp; Check it out.&nbsp; You could adapt this method well for a type set.</p><p><br /></p><p>This just happens to be the first page of my first album, with all ancients, but imagine my labels said “Draped Bust half cent (1800-1808)”, then “Classic Head half cent (1809-1836)” for the next slot, etc., etc., and so on down the line for each type. And you can define your own type set layout with the labels and pocket overlays.&nbsp; Get it? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1275700[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1275701[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1275702[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>*But I should note that [USER=101593]@Southpawdon[/USER]’s green labels look very nice, too.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
