[QUOTE="midtncoin, post: 2834881, member: 89569"]Hi all, First time post but long-time reader. I've been collecting coins for over 30 years but back in the early 2000's, I decided to take a break. After about 15 years of not paying attention to the numismatic world, I decided to jump back in this year. One thing that I had always done in the past was to purchase the yearly mint sets. Prior to my temporary retirement, the mint sets were shipped in two individual mylar(?) envelopes with a post-card for each. I would purchase the vinyl sheets that are designed to hold post cards (3 to a page) and this would easily hold both P, D, and postcards for a single year in a single page. But now that I've gotten back into things, I just purchased the 2016 and 2017 mint sets to start backfilling my missing years. And I've discovered that the format that they are shipping them in does not lend itself to easy storage. So that leads to my question: Do you collect AND display your mint sets and, if so, how do you deal with the new formats? Honestly, at this point, I can't come up with a easy solution and I'm thinking (just thinking at this point) to simply break everything out, store them in 2x2's, and put them in my regular 5x5 vinyl sheets. I would love to hear what the rest of you use for storing/holding/displaying mint sets.[/QUOTE]
