Message:: [QUOTE="huntsman53, post: 516565, member: 1242"]Tyler, I understand what you are saying but you need to view it from the Seller's (Coin Dealer's) point of view! Tables at many Coin Shows run from $100 to $200 or more each but at the big Coin Shows such as the Florida Fun Show and Long Beach Show can cost $500 to $1,000 each depending where they are located. If you are going to make any profit whatsoever, then you have to limit the space that you use (i.e. less tables equals less cost). Since most Coin Dealers that I know have much more inventory on hand than they have room to display, they must try to display as much as possible until some sales opens up enough room to add more inventory for display. Since a binder with the plastic sleeves for 2x2'd coins when open takes up as much room as five or more of the double row boxes for 2x2'd coins, then the Coin Dealer is wasting display space by using the binders. Also, you can only display (make available) about 150 coins in most binders while in five double row boxes, a Dealer can make near 1,500 loosely packed 2x2'd coins available for customers to look at. I think the big problem that most Coin Dealers have when using the double row boxes for 2x2'd coins, is that they don't spend enough time in labeling the boxes (i.e. what is inside) and making and installing labelled tabs within the boxes to separate specific Date runs or to separate BU coins from Circulated coins.
