<p>[QUOTE="CamaroDMD, post: 1154400, member: 5233"]I am in the process of removing my lesser quality coins from their old Whitman folders and am putting them in stapled 2x2s and in pages that hold 20 2x2s each.

I also don't care for the fact that I can't design my own sets, the albums only have what Dansco thought they should. So, those are my 2 reasons for not liking to use those.</p><p><br /></p><p>I do like having the organized in pages so I can flip through and see my coins.
