I just purchased that album a few days ago, and have yet to receive it. From the description, it is a "year set" of dollars, including the Morgans, Peace, Ike, and Susan B Anthony. I could do without the Ikes and SBAs, but that wasn't a choice. Thankfully no Sacagawea or Presidents included.

Of course I date myself, but my album only has 4 pages, room for one of each date Morgan and Peace and an opening for an example of each mintmark (CC, O, S, D for Morgan, D and S for the Peace). Back when I filled mine they hadn't yet thought up the Ike or SBA dollars. I still have the empty album stored away somewhere, maybe someday I'll trun my attention back to Morgan dollars

When I started back into coins a few years ago I was in a store on vacation and was talking to the dealer about this kind of thing and he told me about a 'grab bag' option they had on Morgan's a few years before that. What they did was took an entire set (yes, an entire set) in MS60+ condition and placed them all into a bucket and was selling them off at $20 a piece. It lasted about a day because someone that was smart enough finally came in and bought the entire bucket.

There will always be someone, somewhere with a rediculous story for those that will listen. Ever go to a car show and listen to all the idiots saying "I used to have a car like that but in much better shape". Or you get a new camera and there is always someone that could have purchased the same one for half what you paid for it just a few days ago. Or "I used to have some land in Texas and sold it a few years ago and now they found oil there".
Ever hear the phrase the grass is always greener on the other side of the street? There are a million old wives tales also if you just want to believe anything.
cabomhn: First try buying as many as you can in the more common dates. Then if you should loose interest in that series, not much lost. Many, many people start things with wrong expectations and loose interest and a lot of money also. This coin collecting thing is a hobby and intended to be fun so do as you feel is right for you.
