My local shop has been out for months and stated Saturday his backorder was cancelled.
Is there anyone online that is offering these, new or (slightly) used?
Even eBay some sellers are demanding over $100.

Not only has there been huge demand for the 7070 (or what ever will come next) for over a year and they didn't respond with supply, but most of their modern album pages expired in 2012 and there were no new albums or update pages made.
I lost interest in keeping my moderns going. No buying when they decide to get their act together.
Thanks.
Will do!

While I sort of agree with your comment it could well be that Dansco felt that the slab collectors now outnumber the raw collectors to the extent that it was deemed unprofitable to continue the production of this or other new albums; just a guess.

Never a slave to one plastic brand will I ever be.
If you feel real lucky, look for the Library of Coins type set albums
Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.
<< <i>So I guess the next question would be: what company makes the best runner up type album? Should type collectors just chuck the whole raw album idea and buy an Eagle slab album? (That's what I'm considering.) >>
I like these a lot, but the dang pages are so expensive!!
Coins felt like they were there to stay (other than half dimes. Those little sicckers slip between the plastic like no other!).

Wayte Raymond National type set albums would be pretty cool, but caution: it has all the tough holes, as do all the "vintage" complete type set albums. Whitman and Library of coins also make 2-volume rather complete type sets, small and large coins.
the 7070 is a nice survey that is reasonably completable, without having to win a lottery or resort to Gallery Mint replica chain cents and 1796 quarters to finish the book.

I wish Dansco would release three albums for type. 18th, 19th and 20th-21st Century. Then we could have a "complete" set but still have options for rare coins. 20 years ago Dave Bowers released the Kingswood type set holders, which were custom Capital Plastics holders. They were arranged by "New Issues" and I believe the dates for the holders were, 1793-1799, 1800-1830, 1831-1850, 1851-1860, 1861-1900, 1901-1950, 1950-date. No Gold though. If anyone ever did a type set like that, I bet it would have been an impressive display.

It has a complete list of Kingswood holders with pictures. I didn't remember the gold or commem sets. Pretty awesome.
