[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2444537, member: 56859"]There are a couple of negatives which have held me back from paper envelopes. I've purchased many old-collection coins which were in paper envelopes. The coins usually had a fair amount of loose paper fibers on them. This could cause abrasion if the boxes are moved around much or if the coins are riffled often. Sometimes the fibers weren't noticed until after I photographed the coins, leading to wasted time reshooting the images. Those old-collection coins were in manilla envelopes. Maybe newer archival-quality envelopes wouldn't have that problem? Secondly, I like to keep any and all old pedigree ephemera. With paper envelopes I'd have to store such items (usually paper) in the envelope. Since those items may not be made of archival paper or ink, it could be a problem.[/QUOTE]
