I hope you guys can suggest something....
I received a #7160 Dansco album, Walking Liberty Halves, all years, and it's missing several slides. Eight of the 6 1/8 x 2 7/8 inch ones and one of the skinny little 6 1/8 x 1 1/2 inch ones.
I tried eBay sellers but no luck. I know they can be cut down for larger sized slides but does anyone know a go to place to find these.
I haven't heard anything back from Wizard Supply as I thought of them first.

    Might have to go aftermarket, here is a guy on ebay named "The Dansco Dude Store". Looks like he has them in various sizes for $1.80 each with a discount on multiple purchases.

    Make them yourself. Buy the plastic, cut using a mat knife and a new blade and a steel ruler.

    Check Joann Fabrics the did see mylar sheets that could be cut to the proper size. You can cut it with regular scissors.

    To add to all the good ideas, an art supply store (such as Blick) can provide mylar in various thicknesses, in rolls and in pads, very easy to trim to sizes needed with cutting mat and blades or a good paper trimmer. Good luck! If particular about the exact same consistent thickness and clarity, sourcing through Dansco is probably ideal.

    Hey thanks everyone for all the suggestions. lotsa good ones.
    @The_Dinosaur_Man offered to make some for me and I struck a small deal. They came yesterday and now our Walker album sits complete except for, you guessed it, the 21-D.

    Some dealers, even at shows, keep a box of ratty old albums for cheap that still have good slides in them.

    I just restocked my inventory of slides after visiting the Dansco HQ. If you still need some, let me know!
