 Bob's HobbyFeb 07, 2010
By R. Ward
I have purchased over 30 Pioneer X-Pando magnetic albums for use in my hobby of recording a history of my family. They are a superb product, are acid free, and have preserved old and new photos exceptionally well. I especially like the ability to add additional pages by just adding extensions to the posts. This is a very good product and I highly recommend them

Good for Odd Sizes....Plusses and MinusesFeb 20, 2011
By ScreamingMiMi
I had a lot of odd size photos from years ago that would not fit in the albums with presized slots so this was a good alternative and works for that.
Here are the positives: Plenty of room for the old 3x3 photos you might have from the good old days. The album itself is very nice looking. It expands alot. Not indefinitely like it says since the piece that covers the expansion part has a finite amount of room. You get to look at a whole page of 5 or 6 photos at once so it's nice to have a flow of things. The photos really stick to the page. Almost too much. Once they are down it's hard to get them up without bending a corner. You can put other momentos in this, I had a few cards I wanted to save.
The negatives: I had to crop every photo I had. If you want to put 4x6 on you can only fit 3 if you stagger them. I sat there with a razor blade trimming photos. But my panoramic fit perfectly. It is kind of a pain to add sheets. Maybe I don't have the hang of it yet. Once you peel back the sticky part it's hard to get the wrinkles out although that doesn't really bother me.
I just spent most of the day arranging my photos and trying to put them in some sort of order. I just love having this huge (and this thing is heavy with 2 or 3 extra sets of refills) book where I can just flip through the pages and see all the good memories.
The reviewer who said this was not acid free is from 2002 or something. I won't live long enough if these start to fade so Oh well.
Oh the last downside. This is expensive. Refills are about $5 for 5 two-sided pages which can fill up fast. I found some at Joann's with a discount and reasonable shipping. ($27 for 6 packs of refills). So I'm at $37 already. But I think without this many of the photos that I really wanted to see would still be in a box in the closet.
Bottom Line: I'm glad I got it.

A Good BuyNov 03, 2001
By Amie
The page size is very practical and it seems to be a high quality procuct (I have only had it for 2 days). It lays very flat, not uneven like a binder, and it can be expanded a lot. The only problem is that the refills seem a bit pricy. I could buy another album with 10 sheets for less than it would cost to buy 10 refill pages. Overall though, I am happy with my purchase.

 Big DisappointmentJan 10, 2012
By Alan D. Aschner
"Collector"
I purchased this product because i have a bunch of 8.5x11 photo prints and this album was the only one that I could find to display them. The only drawback was that the album came initially with only 10 inserts (20 pages) counting front and back)and so limited the number of photos I could display.
No problem I thought so when I purchased the album, I also purchased a set of additional pages and the post extensions you need to fit them in. Imagine my disappointment when I tried to unscrew the caps from the initial posts and found that they turned and turned but would not unscrew. Not easily discouraged, I tried for hours and hours but still no luck.
And when I complained to the sellers of the album, my complaint was ignored. So sorry but this purchase was a bust!Pioneer 11 3/8-Inch by 11 3/4-Inch Postbound Deluxe Boxed Leatherette Magnetic Album, Black
Really Good AlbumOct 12, 2011
By cute shoe girl
I have two other albums of this brand/model and have had them for years. They are both as full as I dare to stretch them, so I had to buy another and couldn't find it in any brick and mortar store I looked at. I like the large, "magnetic" pages so that I can arrange my photos in any shape and amount on any one page. My oldest Pioneer Deluxe album is 17 years old. I just checked it and it still shows no yellowing or degradation of the photo paper or plastic sheets, so that's amazing. It also has the advantage of extending the thickness with refill sheets and extension post screws so you can make it as thick and heavy as you dare to. It's definitely a great album for family photos.
