Looking good!  I have decided that I am getting the 7188 to hold my proofs... P for Proof and D for Different (Reverse) Proof. I will worry about the extra holes in ten years.

Looks good! Just to be clear, you bought a 7188 album, erased almost all the preprinted stuff, and turned it into an 8188? I may to this as well. Hey! 100 posts for me

Quote: Just to be clear, you bought a 7188 album, erased almost all the preprinted stuff, and turned it into an 8188? yes, I did. I took the 7188 pages for the P and D releases and erased it then re-labeled for a custom 8188 album with Proof and Reverse Proof. But I did have to buy BOTH 7188 and the 8188 full albums. Once I'm done with the re-labeling they will end up in the 8188 album cover and I'll try to sell off the 8188 paged and the 7188 album cover to someone who needs them.

So here is my process to erase the inking on the pages: tools: Q-tip on a 6" stick 99% Isopropyl Alcohol Paper Towel Process - one line at a time is best. I soak the Q-tip then wet the lettering on the first line (all 4 hole labels) let sit for 30 seconds then use wet Q-tip to GENTLY rub the ink and wile frequently (keep Q-tip wet when rubbing) Work one hole at a time - not the whole row) keep q-tipping and wiping until all 4 holes are clear of ink. then Buff the area you just cleaned. Repeat for next row.

Update: I finally ordered the album!  It should get here next week, but I am not in a hurry, as evidenced by the nearly two weeks that have transpired since I made that decision.

I just hope they follow through and do the Women's albums like they did the previous quarter albums and NOT like they messed up with the Innovations album

I am sure they will. Clad and silver are the norm. I think they underestimated the popularity of the reverse proof.

Quote: ya think? Yeah.  I believe they would have remained unpopular if they were still sold singly. I did not start buying them until they switched to sets, although I did buy the introductory coin in both forms. Luckily the mint still had the other eight for sale when they made the change, so I bought them.
