I love them but I'm not a typical collector
I only collect what I like which is mostly Commemorative or Type Coins
I use 6 CAPS Binders for the bulk of my collection but I also have an Intercept Shield Type Collection Album for my circulated Type Collection and a small collection NGC PF-69 Graded coins
Parts of my collection contain coins of multiple denominations which isn't addressed by normal binder pages
One CAPS Binder with 6 A pages has all of my silver proof Quarters which include the Statehood, America the Beautiful, American Women sets with room for the Youth Sports series which I might not collect
PROS:
You can always rearrange your collection as it grows
You can use H of T capsules with Black Rings to display multiple coin denominations on one page
It is easy to remove a capsule if you want to rearrange your collection
If the Mint stops producing a specific series of coin you're not stuck with unfilled holes
There are a large variety of printed pages you can order when you buy the pages or albums
If you have an odd collection you can create custom labeled album pages on the Valley Coin Website for $6.95 each
OR if you have a cricket and a printer, it is possible to create custom labeled Album pages at home
The Pages will fit normal binders so you are not limited to the CAPS binders
Or you could store the pages in a box ala Index Card Style
CONS
The binders are big
If you have a large collection it might feel expensive since you need a Air-Tite Capsule for each coin
Here are some example of my pages and a printed H page that I'm going to create to hold all of my Sesquicentennial, Bicentennial and Semiquincentennial coins
