Dansco Or Intercept Shield?

Having used both, but I'm not in love with either. The Dansco seems nicer quality, but the brown and gold color scheme is ugly. Don't get me started on that horrible brush-script font.

The Intercept Shield looks nice at first, but seems to show signs of use much more quickly. The top layers of the pages are showing signs of stretching on the edge from removing and inserting the slides, and the corners are already starting to look dinged up. I like that it comes with the slipcase included though, and in theory the sacrificial material it's made out of should protect against corrosion (though correctly stored Dansco albums are also safe).

Both albums have poorly fitting holes.

Neither. I prefer 2x2 in the page protector binder form. I believe it protects the coin more and its easier to upgrade with new coins and be able to sell the other still protected. Plus I like to color code my album by the color sharpie I use to right the date. I've been doing this for years and its just cool to reflect when I got something. For example 2005 I used orange, 2006 blue 2007 red 2008 green 2009 black 2010 grey and 2011 dark green. I always know exaclty when I got something.

The only thing I can offer is that I have been using Dansco albums for almost 27 years with no complaints. I have never used an intercept shield album, but I believe they are comparable to Dansco and that the only significant difference is green versus brown.

I like Intercept Shield but they do not always have the variety that Dansco seems to have.
