Currency Sleeves and holders - the good and the bad - Page 3

You are right Jon but this was clearly damaging the cards...and they told me I was crazy! As I found out later, the members of that board is all about posturing, making sure that only their chosen few answers are acceptible, and getting high post counts. I don't even know if it's still in existance, I have not visited it since 2005 or so!

Here is another thought: If the sleeves stick to each other...that is not a good thing...you want sleeves that aren't going to stick to anything, either other sleeves or the notes inside them!

The sleeves i use are frustratingly slippery to each other. There is absolutely no sticking lol they slide right off each other, and drive me crazy if i am trying to work on a stack. Whats odd, is my coin flips and my currency sleeves are 'supposedly' the same material. My flips, however, do tend to be a bit frition-y with each other. The currency sleeves are 15 mil total thickness, while the coinflips are maybe 6. They are much thinner then the sleeves. So i dont know if the thickness makes them more rigid and less 'sticky', or if its just because of a different manufactuer. The flips i use are not tacky to the coins, but are held fairly securly within the flip.

The biggest concern i would have about flips or sleeves being 'sticky' is what would be causing that stickiness, and would it be harmfull to the item contained within. As mentioned, manufacurers are not very forthcoming with how their product is made, or even what its made of in a lot of instances. We may know more years down the road as more information is released... but for now - we all must base our decisions on whatever information is found!
