<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 415264, member: 112&quot;]OK, let me ask you then - you are saying that since some damage has been done already that you may as well them alone and let even more damage be done ? I fail to see the logic in that. More damage is just more damage - how can that possibly be better than stopping the damage where it is ?</p><p><br /></p><p>Guys there are literally millions of coins stored in albums and they have been for decades. It is a simple fact that people do it because they like the album presentation. And that&#039;s what each collector has to decide for himself - which is more meaningful to him, to have a presentation look that he likes - or - to protect the coins from possible harm and maintain them as close as possible to being the same as the day they received the coins ?</p><p><br /></p><p>You answer that question, and you have the answer as to whether or not albums are right for you.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; The stuff&#039;s got to be more enjoyable in the album.&nbsp; If there&#039;s some you really like and you want a perfect one, buy a slabbed one and stash it away.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; I&#039;m buying MS franklin halves for my Intercept shield album.&nbsp; If I decided the only good method would be to stuff them in a plastic tube, then I&#039;d only buy worn, beat up ones and throw them in with the rest.&nbsp; I hate card board 2x2s because of the staples.&nbsp;&nbsp; I don&#039;t keep anything in them.&nbsp; They&#039;re good for shipping.</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp; My belief is that some coins are meant for the tube.&nbsp; Some are meant for display in an album (to be seen).&nbsp; Really nice ones should be slabbed or in individual plastic 2x2s and stashed away, to be known about and rarely seen.&nbsp; Of course a slab is the best.</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp; At some point you have to enjoy the hobby, not worry about it and do what you want to do.[/QUOTE][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
