I buy thousands of used plastic flips. They house my attributed maverick tokens. The brittle ones are cut in two and hold my notes on tokens that I want but don't have yet. Few people dealing with hundreds of thousands of tokens would try to buy new holders for all of them. Even buying 10,000 at a time 2x2s cost more than $100. Retail they are $5 per hundred loose and more if you need the box. All that money saved can be used to buy rarities.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
