I want to photograph every coin, so I have to open them from their 2x2 cardboard holders. So might as well switch to paper. As I am not a professional, my pics won't be as good as sellers' but at least they'll be my own. However, with paper envelopes, it is easy to go back and re-take pictures in the future.
