Dansco or Intercept cardboard material?

Is there really a big difference between the material they use in the pages?

"Intercept Shield™ Technology" boasts pure science to protect coins, and Dansco is basically just a pH neutral cardboard apparently.

If I bought a sheet of the raw material from each brand.. the "cardboard".. a) what is it exactly, b) are they going to be much different

sorry if this is a weird question :/ i'm thinking about hunting down a larger piece for a project

    I'm partial to Dansco for some reason.

    Totally different technology. Both are archival cardboard. The intercept shield had a sacrificial anode

    They are my favorite. When I go to local shows and coin shops I'm always on the lookout for used Library of Coins albums. But its tough to find one that hasn't been written on with notes, etc. by the original owner. The handwriting is always bad. YUCK! I hate that!

    wow, intercept is on a whole other level aren't they. yet dansco does the job too. interesting.

    "archival cardboard" seems to be the term i was looking for. looks like it's buy-able in sheets. i wonder what to buy if i wanted the exact same material dansco uses. seems like intercept is it's own thing and buying large pieces would be hard to do.

    It depends what your end goal is... if it is to be tarnish free, then I would trust the intercept product first. Cheers, RickO
