Man, it's a bummer they discontinued some of those. I put in a few bids on those and some of your LTs.

I wish there were more good world type set albums out there. Not too much selection nowadays. I had fun with the three Irish Danscos once.

Sure, I know they'd likely be slow sellers here in the US, but I'm surprised there aren't more produced, outside of maybe Euro albums. And if there are any good world type set albums produced in other countries, I haven't seen many, with the possible Euro exception noted. I guess the US still has a near monopoly on the manufacture of numismatic albums. 'Tis a pity our collecting horizons aren't broader over here.

I think the slabs market has been crushing the album market. Especially with NCLT like the Israel commems. All of my Israeli commems are in slabs, for example.

Good point. I guess it isn't worth a manufacturer's time and expense to run off specialty items for what will be a pretty narrow niche market.

Too bad, because I would probably be in one or two of those niches.

Then again, I've learned to make my own custom "albums" pretty well with pocket pages and printed flip inserts.

Hi Lord Marcovan, thanks for the bids. I had ambitions to building some nice type sets, but they never really got off the ground.
