Question about DANSCO Jefferson Nickels album

Jefferson Nickels including Proof-only issues is a terrific album. My one concern is why it doesn't include openings for the PROOF nickels from 1938 to 1964. DANSCO puts out two Jefferson nickel albums (the other being strictly business strikes only).
It doesn't seem complete not including these additional proof coins. Seems arbitrary to pick up in 1971- forward.
Any collector of the series, or anyone know why DANSCO set this album up this way?
Thanks!

I asked that question a few years ago to a DANSCO worker and got the answer that the reason why they didn't add the early proofs and even the SMS coins was because the early proofs were very limited and the goals for the sets were to have as many people be able to complete the books. He also told me to get a blank page and add them to the back of the book.
Ultimately, I think it's a money issue.
Hope this helps...

You just might want to get an extra Dansco nickels page, or two, for those proofs. Dansco makes extra blank pages for nickels.

It seems like this set up covers all year/mm combinations with no duplicates.
If they added 38-42 proofs, the SMS coins, or 68s/69s/70s proof with would break that "logic".
Thanks for the input, I feel better about this now.

I would guess it's because there are mint state examples of the earlier date/mints (pre 1971) but not of the later dates.
Also, I have been told by a dealer friend, who carries all of the DANSCO products,that there is a new page coming out for the DANSCO Jeffersons with proofs albumn.
