Has anyone heard anything about the albums labeled "The Coin Collector" on the front, Good or Bad?

Here is a link to one selling on ebay.

I want to upgrade from the cheap folders and I am looking to buy 10 albums. I am just having trouble choking down the cost of the Dansco/Whitman Albums (With Dansco that would be about $170, which is probably more than all my coins are worth all together).

I, too, have been tempted by these albums, but have never had one in hand. First, let us assume that there aren't any toxic things in the cardboard, sleeves, etc.

2 concerns:

1. Construction. Is it flimsy? Will it fall apart the 20th time I open it up?

2. How do the plastic things slide over the coins. The last thing we want is the plastic rubbing against the coins every time to put a new coin in or replace one.

If there aren't problems with that, I really can't see how a Dansco or Whitman or whatever would be better.

I might bite and get one for Barber quarters. I came across a few well-circulated ones and need an album. I don't plan on working on that collection very much, but I'd like a "nice" place to store them.

Edit: Oh, I just noticed. They don't offer one for Barber quarters
