<p>[QUOTE="coin0709, post: 3130577, member: 37995"]It is pretty clear to me that CAPS albums are the cream of the crop in terms of albums that do not 'hurt' coins in any way. However, my main concerns are the following:</p><p>1) The CAPS US Type Set pages should be expanded.</p><p>2) I've read that it can be challenging to pop out the air-tites which may cause damage (ex. plastic creasing/scratching) over time to slot backs and really detract from how the coins can be viewed. I upgrade my coins regularly so this is huge.</p><p>3) The massive upfront investment for the albums and air-tites. I collect all US circulating coins, all denominations. Replacing 30 Dansco (x ~$25ea) with 30 CAPS albums (x ~$28ea) plus air-tites (avg $40/album) will significantly hurt my 'coin budget'. Its hard to stomach ~$1200 just in air-tites. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
