This album starts in 1996 and finishes in 2026. I just finished filling mine.
So what is Whitman going to do starting next year, knowing that collectors won't have a place to put their 2027 nickels?

Congratulations on the album completion!
As for future years, you can check their website.

I did check their website--but the albums starting in 2027 are by H. E. Harris. I'm confused--why is another company's coin folders appearing on the Whitman website? Is Whitman not making new coin folders anymore?

And then CDN Publishing (Greysheet) acquired Whitman Publishing in 2023. Hence one reason GSID (Greysheet Identification Numbers) now appear in the RedBook and Greysheet CPG (Conumer Price Guide) numbers are reflected in the RedBook and RedBook Quarterly. |

In fact, I have Harris folders for all of my quarters since they began the new reverses in 1999. But does that mean that we won't be seeing new blue Whitman folders for nickels ever again? |

I think you're right.
But that begs the question--would they sell the blue Whitman folders and the grey Harris folders for the same coins on one website?

My cousin used to sell Chevrolets and Pontiacs at the same dealership, so why not.  |

You can always get a blank folder and continue that way.
Also, as to why they would sell the same things? I mean, I'm pretty sure they are one company. So, they offer all products.
