<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 3942477, member: 5233&quot;]I personally think...and this is just my opinion...that those coin damaging Whitman folders do have value in our hobby...I really do.&nbsp; I think that they are a wonderful way for kids to get interested.&nbsp; That&#039;s how I started, that&#039;s how a lot of us started.&nbsp; Someone gave us a blue Whitman folder...because they are cheap and easy to find...for us to scrounge Lincoln Cents out of circulation and &quot;fill holes.&quot;&nbsp; If it wasn&#039;t for that childhood experience...for that joy of the hunt I had when I was 10...I probably never would have fell in love with numismatics.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now that I am an adult and am actually investing money into my collection and pursuing the study of numismatics...I understand that this is a poor storage method and should not be used.&nbsp; I understand that one must account for the proper storage of a coin and budget accordingly.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But, to that 10 year old, those Whitman folders served a great purpose and helped me discover the joy of coin collecting.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
