<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2700788, member: 84179&quot;]I like cardboard 2x2s for low value coins. I keep some of these in long boxes, and they can get tight. Years ago, I scratched some removing them from the box. I&#039;ve always used pliers since. Plus, protruding staples can make insertion and removal from the Mylar pages difficult. If you&#039;re careful, I guess you can get away without pressing the staples, but why chance it</p><p><br /></p><p>I have never had a scratch or toning issue with cardboard, but I would never use them for unc or high value coins (only no-PVC flips for them)</p><p><br /></p><p>Finally, I got a good deal years ago on a 1901S quarter. AG and no issues other than wear EXCEPT a new short scratch going to the rim that stood out. Absolutely happened when someone removed it from a 2x2. It wasn&#039;t deep and a well placed thumb and 25 years, it is no longer detracting. But, someone lost some money because of the scratch and I got lucky and filled the last hole my barber quarter album for a great price[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
