I too love to see and hold proper photos, there's something special about the old black and white ones with the little white border round, they hold a story, like before fancy cameras these phots may have been taken with a old box Brownie, then taken to the shop and opened under the cover of darkness.
I am guilty of just putting them straight on computer,but would love albums to look through.
My mum has recently died and we have had photo box out, but too painful to look through at the moment.
What I might start is one for GS whos nearly 6, all the days out we have had, tents we have made, walking in the river with wellies on, so much more to a photo like they say "the picture tells it all"
flyinghandbag you sound like you are really enjoying putting your albums together 
My trouble is when! I do start I cant choose which photos to use out of the many 100s
