Thanks, guys (and gals) - I was just having a little fun. Not going anywhere for sure!

Carl - Appreciate the detailed reply to my rather brutish question, generous on your part. Always curious about raw vs. slabbed valuations and stuff like that. To put it mildly, I would dearly love to seem some sharp photos of any of the better dates in your collections.

terry - Agree. Slabs are my bankies, I guess.

Nice Carl,
I doubt I will ever put together a set like that. Kudos to you!

For anyone that cares, I'm attaching some photos of set #1. However, I did not remove the plastic slides so not the greatest photos, but for now, best I can do. Just didn't want to take a chance with the slides.

You are a brave soul to display these treasures in this sort of album. I would not have the courage. Hell, I even keep my slabs in air-tite boxes.

Again, congratulations on this remarkable achievement.

Great pics. I don't blame you for leaving the slides in place.

You have one very beautiful set there. Silver looks so nice in the blue folders

I do not blame him, either. I did the same with my 7070 photos.
