<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3941039, member: 112&quot;]Strongly disagree, the Whitman blue folders are far worse than any shoe box would be. That&#039;s because the paper page that covers the bottom side of the holes - it&#039;s coated with glue. So you have that side of the coin in direct contact with glue - as well as all the sulfur laden cardboard. That glue, almost always results in ugly toning on at least that side of the coins, and sometimes corrosion. </p><p><br /></p><p>And yeah, I know, they&#039;re cheap, easy to get and easy to use, and yeah they hold the coins well. I probably had 20 or 30 of them when I was kid. And they ruined every single coin I ever put in them. &#039;Course I didn&#039;t know that because once in the folder - I never had reason to take &#039;em out. Then one day I did and saw what those blue folders had done to all my coins. That was over 50 years ago. And since then I&#039;ve seen hundreds of people who joined this forum telling the very same story for the last 17 years now.</p><p><br /></p><p>Those things are infamous, and they always have been. But they still keep selling them like hotcakes because they&#039;re cheap and the folks buying them don&#039;t know about the downside that&#039;s built right into them. They simply aren&#039;t aware of it. So when I see them, I try to make them aware.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
