Anyone know where to get sticky cardboard?

I have given up buying any Lincolns I need, the prices are INSANE. So, I have decided to liquidate some. I have received several coins in the mail in a fold-over cardboard protector that sticks together when pressed closed. Does anyone know where I can get some of that sticky cardboard stuff?

Sorry, not sure where you can get that stuff. Office staionary shops like Staples?
Ill just throw it out there, but how about using those glue boards people use to catch mice and roaches:goof:

 

Not self-adhesive 2X2s, This is brown cardboard with sticky stuff on one side, you fold it over a 2X2 for mailing.

 

JP's coins supply has them. Ice

I just pull one paper side off of corrugated cardboard from a box and brush the peaks with rubber cement and allow to dry. It the adheres to itself, but not to the cardboard 2x2. I am cautious so I let the rubber cement dry for a day or so. I guess the spray hobby adhesive might work also, but I haven't tried it.

Wow I'm slow. This is the page anyway.

15.75 for 25 of them. I'll have to sell a few coins first.
Thanks for the link, this forum can be awesome at times.

 

Don't give up! I've been working on Lincolns for over 50 years. Yeah, I've had complete sets, but the upgrade bug keeps biting.

ps I used to live in Waterford in the mid 50's

 

I use old cardboard boxes and cut a piece to fit the order and staple the cardboard together. It's easy and the cost is a little bit of time and a few staples. If I was selling $500.00 coins, I'd think about spending 60 cents per coin to protect them but since I'm not, I'll spend a penny or less per shipment.

That sounds like a great idea. I didn't know the sticky stuff cost so much.

 

BTW - I cut the cardboard twice as long as I would need for one side then fold it over and it's like a windowless flip that fits the number of flips I need it for, max of 8 (2 rows of 4). Then I just staple the 3 open sides. It works really well and while it isn't as purdy as the store bought version, it's just as good if not better. :thumb:

Bubble mailers and flips would take a lot less time and would cost less.

 

I also use bubble mailers and the coins are also in flips inside the cardboard. The cardboard helps to protect the coin(s) even more, which makes it more likely it/they will reach their destination unharmed.
