<p>[QUOTE="Clint, post: 1339835, member: 34620"]Well, I have enjoyed learning enough that I thought I'd venture out to buy some supplies online, as opposed to whatever I could find at the local store. I LOVE supporting the local guys, so don't get me wrong. Anyhow, I was please to start using Sa-flips, alongside my current Saf-t-flips. I think the former may have a clearer view. We'll see how they hold up.</p><p><br /></p><p>On to the question. I've been fairly happy with the plastic pages from the store, for 75 cents each, but I surfed and found plenty of recommendations to use 35mm pages, which I got from PrintFile. I found the 2x2-20B version, which has 20 slots for 2x2s (like the ones I bought locally) and says it is 8mm polypro. I like the white edges which I could write on, perhaps. Compared to some other brands, that 8mm sounded pretty thick. However, just putting a few 1 oz coins in it made it sag so far I don't feel comfortable putting the binder on the shelf! Maybe it will work for dimes...do any of you really use these pages with success? Is there a clever way to stiffen the edges? Are they only good for a few small coins per page? I don't have any 35mm slides, so I really don't know what else I could do with them...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
