 BAD! Nov 28, 2001
By Joseph Morgan
Please don't buy magnetic photo albums! I have one just like this, and my pictures are already starting to ruin. I found out that the acid and lignin in these albums will discolor and eventually eat through your photos. With all of the $$$ spent on cameras, film, and developing PLEASE invest in a safer way to store and display them!!! Try a Creative Memories album. I like them the best! They cost a little more, but a well worth it in the long run!

Not really infinitely X-Pando album - but it can be arranged Dec 11, 2001
By Janet Arrowsmith-lowe
"arrowsmith10"
I have been using these particular photo albums for 12 years and am generally very pleased with how well they preserve photos. The major problem is that when more pages are added, the covers tear away due to added weight and stress. I have recently discovered that putting metal washers under the screw pegs substantially increases the durability of the album. They are not, I repeat, not infinitely expandable as has been implied by the manufacturer in the past, but they can be expanded safely with the additional reinforcement afforded by metal washers.Otherwise, these are the best hobby-level albums I've used. I've tried a lot of albums.

 Great Photo / Scrape Album Feb 24, 2001
The Pioneer X-pando jumbo magnetic photo album is more than a photoalbum. It's more like a scrape book. We put pictures, airline tickets, titles, foreign money, maps, tokens, cards, along with the pictures. This makes our album more fun to look at. For example for our trip to Washington DC we put parts of the map to the National Zoo along with the pictures we took there and for our honeymoon we put things like our airline tickets, some foreign money, and even a flat shell we found on the beach! The other benefit is they are expandable. you just add the refills (they say they are unlimited but really you can only add about maybe 4-5 refills per album). The albums may be a little more expensive but are worth it. We highly recommend them (we have 7 of them!)

Nothing's more convenient Jan 30, 2005
By David Lozinski
"FireMyst"
These albums are fantastic in that I can put *ANYTHING* in them anyway I want, and not have to worry about "sticky stuff" ruining the items. The clear coverings are held in place by some sort of "static", not glue. I shoot mostly 4"x6" prints, and can fit 6 on a page when laying them all out horizontally. Sometimes I mix and match... putting 6x4s in with the 4x6s. The pages can even hold 8x10 images, and special photos you might get while on vacation spots. For example, when you ride a roller coaster and have your photo taken on the coaster... you can fit the photo and the cheezy books amusement parks usually put them in, within this album. Best of all, these albums conveniently fit in a bookcase like a regular book, and they come in an assortment of colors... I color code my albums, using a different color for each year. That is, 2000 was in green, 2001 in blue, 2002 in majenta, etc. Makes it easier. :-]

Handy for all size pictures May 08, 2002
I have several of these albums and will continue to buy them. As I take panoramic photos it's good to have an album that can fit these and other photo sizes in them. And they come in a wide variety of colors so I can keep some organization to the albums for different photo subjects. With additional pages I can expand the books but that can also be a drawback. Too many pages make the books heavy.
