Another common type of album is the picture albums that use 2 layers of paper to secure the cards at the corners, rather than gluing them onto pages. I’ve bought multiple collections in this format - they often produce toning damage to the card backs from being in decades long contact with the acidic paper. These were pretty popular up north, a number of my Canadian cigarette cards have come
from album buys in this format.
Fantastic info, thanks!
