It is hard to think that is has been only 11 months since I bought my very first Dansco Album. I now have 23 albums all but 3 are fully loaded
my Liberty (Barber) dimes and Mercury dimes still live in Whitman's for the moment, I just need the time to photograph and document them then move them over to the Dansco albums. The third album I just bought is for the Franklin half dollar coins. All of the albums are of the 81xx series except for the 7070, Liberty (Barber) and Mercury dimes.

Impressive!
You're missing two more protective sleeves for the dime albums.

A lot of weight is on top of that drawer.

I found this online 'store' called 'ATMOS Advantage' they have VERY reasonable prices. I was able to buy 2 5/8" slipcases for my bare dime albums for only $9.50 each. The same item sells on ebay for $30.00 each plus shipping.. I only had to pay $26.00 'out the door' as they say.

Do you mean AMOS Advantage? I've bought a couple things from them as well. Now most of the stuff I need is backordered (just like everywhere else)

An auto-correction, maybe?

I did a comparison between ebay and Amos,
you can get 100 2x2's for $3.96 at Amos - at ebay the same count is sold for $9.00 plus shipping.

I have been keeping track on what I paid for on just the albums and slipcases. I'll post them up in a bit..

And thanks everyone. It IS very addicting indeed.

Edit: total cost just for all the albums, slipcases, and a bunch of blank pages comes to $1,975.00 (so far)

I hope that shelf stays strong.


Seriously, I would cut some wooden dowels, stain them and put them under that shelf. ( and the one under that too.) LOL

Very impressive!

Surprisingly enough, the shelving is strong enough to hold all the weight. It a cabinet made from salvaged barn wood.

@jBuck - I know, crazy. If Dansco was producing them, The prices would not be that bad. it is all the 'scalpers' out there inflating the prices.
