    Hi all! As I'm trying to organize everything I find myself compiling a list of supplies that I need. Roll boxes, some Airtites, another album or 2, etc. The list is growing rapidly! Anyway, could everyone please list their favorite sites for supplies? It seems like I find a new site every day & it's a bit overwhelming trying to figure out who's reputable & reasonably priced.

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    I just ordered some supplies from Brent-Krueger (www.brent-krueger.com) group which has a link attached to this forum at the bottom of the page. Prices seemed to be pretty competitive (discount off retail), and I received my order in 2 days!!

    Frankly, I do not know why they have a link on the formum (perhaps they sponser it), but I browsed through it, and thought I would give it a try.

    I also recently ordered some supplies from Collector's Outpost, Inc. (www.collectors-outpost.com). They had competitive prices as well, and shipped fairly fast.

    I'm sure others might have other recommendations. If you have time, look thru them all and comparison shop!! Good luck!!

    All good choices. JP's seems to have the best prices.

    Thanks for everyone's input. I placed my order with JPs last night as their prices seemed better. Included in my order were several Airtites for some of my more precious coins...Can anyone give me advice how best to get them in the Airtites without damaging the coins or leaving fingerprints? I ordered the one's with the foam ring inserts (they said the foam is safe for coins, I'm assuming that's true).
    Thanks so much!

    The foam is easy to work with. Lay the coin on something like felt. Then the ring can be placed around the coin. Pretty easy. If you do need to touch the coin at all, use very soft cotton gloves. You will like the airtites. Make sure you blow out any dust in the holder before inserting the coin. The can air works great, and it is cheap.
