Wayte Raymond large cent albums

There are currently no ‘completed sales’ on eBay but here are two reportedly like new albums for $110. I think it’s a good enough deal to pull the trigger. Whatcha think?

    Justifiable in my book if they are like-new! Used and ratty condition these albums are common, but a new assembled binder is a decent buy.

    That’s not too bad of a price for 2 albums if they are unused in nice condition.

  • It's a good deal in my opinion!

    Looks like a nice deal to me. I bought mine used and saved a little bit of money but the binders have light surface pitting. Nothing major...

    Looks like a great deal, also, especially in the condition the album is in. I went the other route with the large 3 page album, but while pages were new, I was never able to get a new binder.

    I always try to pick up Wayte Raymond albums at major coin shows. Occasionally you’ll see a dealer with stacks and stacks of empty holders. They usually just want to get rid of them. Last time I found about a dozen Waytes, and I flipped them on eBay for about a 5X profit.

    Every once in a while m.meghrig*sons sells unused old stock of the large Meghrig binders on eBay. I don’t think they have any up right now though

    And last year, a different seller was selling unused old stock large Wayte Raymond binders on eBay, but I haven’t seen any from him this year. This is what he was selling them for, I got a couple.

    You can sometimes find decent small binders for cheap, like this one right now that comes with just one half dollar board. This binder is much nicer than average

    This seller was selling these small size Wayte and Meghrig boards for something like $5 each at first, then for $3 each. I can’t tell what they are doing now, but looks like they are trying to sell all they have left for one price or something like that. I bought several that I didn’t have when he first put them up and they are nice but not all perfect. This hoard was just about the cheapest I’ve seen on eBay.

    This website always has a good selection of mainly used large size boards (but not large binders) and small size binders and boards for sell, but some are in better condition than others and you take what you get. But very good prices

    And this site usually has both Wayte Raymond and Meghrig Binders and Boards for a decent price and you get to look at the pictures of the actual ones for sale

    And finally, this eBay seller has some unused old stock boards for sale right now

    Meghrig made some terrible albums. Only one side showing and the back closed. With that green paper. :s
    But their US Type was arranged perfectly. Had bust dollars. :)

    I purchased the albums from my OP and they are in fact very nice, if not like new. There’s a little wear on the outside spine but the boards look unused.

    The acetate windows are a little dirty and need cleaned since I intend to use the albums. I think just windex will work but any advice on that would be considered.

  • Mr_SpudMr_Spud Posts: 5,507 ✭✭✭✭✭

    I’ve used eyeglass cleaner, similar to windex, on the slides before with no issues
