Anyone here putting together any sets in albums?

I've got a BU set of Roosies, Washingtons, Mercs, and Jeffs coming along. Didn't really mean to start. But I just like nice coins of any series, especially ones that are cool looking and relatively inexpensive. After a while you have the foundation for a set. Just happens. Lots a fun.
What about you?

Nice looking set.

That's the next set I plan on pursuing, since I've recently finished my Morgan dollar set, and seem to have run into a brick wall concerning the remaining IHC's I need

OK, Tyler, you asked for it. I just tossed my Barber Dime album into the old scanner. This set is not nearly as nicely matched as your Barber Half set (of which I dream frequently). But here 'tis warts and all. The extra holes have a couple of 1905-O micro-Os and other varieties.(Reverse scans available through email upon PM request).
I especially like the 96-S (my favorite Barber dime date) and the 1909-O...the 1903-s is very snazzy also. The first coin I would "upgrade" is that horrendous 1898. It looks all out of place with that dripping luster and high end AU detail. No, that coin needs to go, now let me get you my address so you can dispose of it as fast as possible and save yourself any more embarrassment.

They were all hand picked out of UNC rolls.
Now they are all beautiful toned Roosies
Some neat coins above,

My Dansco 7070 is all cracked out. Other sets, I just put a little piece of paper with the grade and service in the hole as a place marker. For example:
See collecting can still be fun
I am currently working on a MS-60 set of Standing Liberty Quarters, short set, that is, 1925 - up. I love that design.
Thank You

Two Dansco Type sets- one completed one about 75% (completed set finished last December after Baley posted his set - took 14 years)
Morgan date set in Dansco - need four coins
Classic Commems in Dansco - done but for the Lafayette
After seeing Arco's Barber Half set I guess I will start one of those.
Happy Thanksgiving to all.
