Anybody use Gardmaster albums or pages?

I decided to try them, because I like the little pockets for a label beneath each of the coin pockets.
I guess these are like the old Harco pages but without the PVC. Since they are a Canadian product I'll bet some of our Greyside brethren have used them.
I just ordered five of the 30-pocket pages and plan to use them in my own zipper binder. They will fit in a standard 3-ring binder, right? Looks like it. If not, I guess I will have to buy a blank Gardmaster album.
Anybody have some closeups of your collection in these kind of pages?
I think they will be a nice way to do a custom album and still be able to label the slots and see both sides of the coins.
I was thinking hard about trying a date set of Hungarian denars, as you may have seen in another recent thread, and they would have looked good in these pages, but now I am thinking harder about going back to a raw Roman imperial collection like I did in 2007-08. (I wouldn't be forsaking my slabbed set, but I've been wanting to "go back to my roots" and try to recapture some of the fun I had with affordable ancients 6-7 years ago when I was a novice.)
Either way, I think these album pages will be a good, versatile, customizable way to house a collection, whatever that ends up being.
(If I do pursue another Roman set, though, I'll have to forgo the large sestertius coins, or switch to the 16-pocket Gardmaster pages with bigger slots. That's not a likely problem, though, since I'm mostly interested in silver denarii and antoninianii.)
Who has some Gardmaster pages with labels we can look at? Most of the pix I saw online were too small.
