Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 3942787, member: 5233"]No.  I said two very different things and you know that.  In the first post of yours you quote me discussing blue Whitman folders as a great gateway for children who are becoming interested in coins.  I clearly state that they do damage coins but for a child who doesn't know better with budding interest who are only picking cents out jars...who cares.  That's about fun and developing the love of the hobby. The other post of mine you quote...I clearly note that if someone is investing their hard earned money into a collection...it is foolish the not also protect that investment.  Those are two very different things. Furthermore, this is a hobby about learning.  That 10 year old me with my Whitman folders didn't know any better...but I was learning and that's a good thing.  It is a common known fact that these folders harms coins and thus their use should be discouraged as a general rule.  Sure, if someone wants who is new to the hobby wants to dive through the change jar and fill the holes in one...and has fun doing it...then do it.  But for ANY OTHER USE, using these folders are foolish.[/QUOTE]
