<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Brocster, post: 49882, member: 2744&quot;]Hi again, <b>Bacchus</b>!</p><p><br /></p><p>Hmmm... I&#039;m glad you brought that up.&nbsp; I guess my memory isn&#039;t all it used to be.&nbsp; I had looked at two main sites for the holders -- JP&#039;s Corner and Brent-Krueger.&nbsp; At JP&#039;s, as you noted, the direct-fit holders are cheaper, and I guess it makes sense that the plastic holder alone would be less expensive than the plastic holder + ring.&nbsp; With Brent-Krueger, though, it&#039;s the opposite situation: ring-type holders are 64¢ each and the direct-fit ones are 69¢ each -- it seems that Brent-Krueger uses a &quot;cost-averaging&quot; approach (not sure if that&#039;s the correct Economics term), which might explain why their direct-fit holders are more expensive.&nbsp; I must&#039;ve just assumed, based on B-K&#039;s site, that all direct-fit holders were more expensive.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>And speaking of JP&#039;s Corner, does anyone have any experience buying from him?&nbsp; The site looks solid enough, and his prices are certainly low.&nbsp; But then I ran across this statement on <a href="http://www.brent-krueger.com/airtite.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.brent-krueger.com/airtite.html" rel="nofollow">the Brent-Krueger website</a>:</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: blue"><b>One other thing you need to look out for.</b>&nbsp; Our product is factory-sealed in blister packaging, not re-packed from bulk product, thrown loose in a bag, that you&#039;ll find sold by many coin supply dealers at a discount.&nbsp; The advantage of original Airtite blister packaging is that you won&#039;t receive scratched, finger-smudged holders or rings, or product that has collected dust and moisture, which ultimately ends up on your coin surfaces.</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>For now, I don&#039;t need to buy all that many holders, so a 20¢ difference (or so) won&#039;t kill me... if it&#039;s worth it (in terms of how JP&#039;s holders come packaged -- loose or blister-packed).</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Isn&#039;t it amazing how one question invariably gets resolved only by bringing up two or three more?!?&nbsp;&nbsp; <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Well, thanks, again, for the info!&nbsp; I appreciate it!!!</p><p><br /></p><p>- Andrew[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
