How do members here store their coins using 2.25 X 2.25 in plastic flips. Should I abandon this method of storing coins?
The pockets are definitely not large enough to hold TPG size slabs.
I want to catalog and store my coins using plastic flips with paper inserts. I want the flips placed in pocketed plastic sheets which in turn are...

@MontCollector Thanks for the reference, but I have seen those pix before. It seems like I need to put my electronic microscope to use as I can't...
