I've seen a couple recommendatins for the above referneced coin album. I really dig the idea of having my slabs in an album. Does anyone have any pics of their coins in one of the labeled pages? I'm just curious to see what it looks like. The Eagle website doesn't provide a decent picture, and I've scoured the forum for an old post.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

Overall I like the pages, but the drawbacks.....
1. Pages are hard plastic, and can crack/split if you handle the pages/slabs a lot.
2. PCGS rattlers don't fit...and you have to buy special foam adapters for ANACS slabs
3. Newer NGC slabs are a little bigger...they fit okay, but it's a tight fit...
Can you describe this SDB?
You, sir, are the man!!! Exactly what I was looking for!
Some of what the others have said I have not experienced. My pages haven't cracked yet. Although I don't move coins in or out of it alot. When I get a new coin I slide it in it's spot and put the album back.
I only collect PCGS Frankies, so I can't say much about other slabs not fitting. But I'm sure others have experienced this.
If you like the look of the album and collect only the PCGS slabs like me for a particular series ...I would say get one.
Something else a board member brought up......If you set this album up like a regular book (not flat like my first pic) it doesn't say anything about coins on it......looks like a regular book.....kinda a deterent, if ya know what I mean.
PURPLE!

Same here.
Buy the pages in the six pack.
Have used these for years.
Have broke 2 or 3. All at the top of the page.
It's a bit thin there. It's a great product.

A couple suggestions that I have:
First, place some type of reinforcement in the ring holes. I used some white duct tape, but anything would would. I had a couple of pages start to tear around the holes, so I needed to reinforce it.
Secondly, if you are building a set, I found it nice to print some Avery labels to place in each slot to label the collections. These can be printed about 30 to a page and placed in the upper part of the indentation for the slab.
FYI: I received an advertisement of their's today, they are raising their prices the first of March. If you're at all interested ... go to : www.eaglecoinholders.com

Hey Purple, those pics look familiar
It's kinda funny that I got to use them again!
I really wish that they would give a better view of how the Album actually looks. The pic that they have is not even close to what I have shown in this thread. Leaves you wondering excatly what the hell kind of album it is.
I will leave these pics loaded incase another asks about the album.
PURPLE!
BTW that's not referring to behavior on the forums in case anyone is wondering.
The only down side is that the NGC slabs are very tight and it's easy to pop some of the connectors in the construction of the pages getting them out, but they are strong enough even if a few are broken. I've also found that the first page has gotten kind of foggy from rubbing against the inside of the front binder. This means that I always have to take the coins out to really look at them.
I like the idea of keeping one or two pages home with the binder and the other two in the vault for security reasons.
That's my take.
