Message:: [QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 3942811, member: 5233"]It's true.  What we don't is to run people out of the hobby.  I typically try and avoid blanket statements for that reason.  But, we should be educating people in the facts...and the facts are that albums damage coins (even higher quality ones like Dansco).  I love my Dansco and IS albums...because I want to be able to look at my collection.  I also know that there are risks in using them. Little Timmy should understand that if he decides to start buying coins that are worth more than face value...he needs to plan to protect them so they maintain that value.  He needs to understand what methods actually protect and which don't. I also believe that [USER=112]@GDJMSP[/USER] would agree that Whitman folders are fine as a "Gateway Drug" for young kids to pull cents out of change and develop a love for this hobby.  I wouldn't even be surprised if that's how he started...because they were probably around when he was a kid.[/QUOTE]
