    None of the folder style books are good for long term storage. The old Whitman albums are good, but will tone your coins which is not necessarily a bad thing.

    i use the whitman classic albums (20.00-30.00)
    i think those folder types are more for beginning collectors

    Use mylar or mylar-faced cardboard flips in boxes. You can always ruin your coins with toning later if they are un-toned. But you can't reverse the process. :)
