I have had several Dansco albums now where quality control doesn't quite seem to be as good as back when I used to collect coins and used Dansco albums. This was also 13+ years ago.

My 7113, 8113, and 7100 albums all have pages that are basically coming undone, despite being only six months to one year old. My 7100 album I actually recently purchased to have a fresh, brand new album since the other one was coming apart, has several pages also coming apart. It's less than six months old! And I'm not rough on them or anything.

I feel like the more you move coins around, upgrade and swap them out, it seemingly wears out the pages.
I don't really recall this being the case with Dansco a long time ago. I could be wrong, though.

Ironically enough, my second 7100 album that I recently purchased used from ebay, which has a few subtle differences, seems to be better quality.

I could purchase replacement pages, and I probably will. However, this seems like it could be a constant thing of replacing them.

A few photos of the issue(s) would be very welcome.

There is not much to visualize. The glue holding the pages at the bottom right and top right of them has come undone, leaving the sliding panels somewhat loose.

I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but almost everything these days has become junk at a higher price...

I have had no problems with my albums or pages, whether old (from 41 years ago) or new (bought in the past year).

However...

I do not move things around. If a coin lands in a hole, it pretty much stays there.

I've had a few pages come unglued at the corners, primarily where I touch to turn the page. I think it is because the top cover is ever so slightly bigger than the center material, and my fingers are able to pull on the page a bit more each time. I simply re-glue the page back down and weight it until it dries. And I don't wait until it is loose all the way up to the nearest hole.
