<p>[QUOTE="harley bissell, post: 7754469, member: 88212"]Since you asked my state is in binders (40 if them). Other states are in pages in milk crates stacked to chest high. The ones that I am still sorting are in over a hundred double row 2x2 boxes and four fifteen gallon trash cans hold the loose ones that have not yet been holdered. I have bought several thousand count 2X2 pages to use and several 10,000 count orders of dollar size 2X2 cardboard flips for my wooden nickels and dollar size tokens. Used plastic flips hold my identified maverick tokens and woods. Nobody goes out and buys this much to get started. It grows and expands over the years, One purchase was 208,000 plastic tokens but many of those have been sold or traded. My trade sessions with friends are a sight to see. None of us exchange lists. We hand each other boxes to go through then settle up on trades when we are done. A good size trade can take more than a day. I can quickly find anything in my collections. I can only narrow down my duplicates by state to a box of what is already sorted. Eventually all from the same state that are duplicated will be together. In the past I have sold all of my tokens in large lots by state on ebay and it took one week. I did that to pay a huge doctor/hospital in 2004. When I decide to stop having trade bait I will do it again for my wife's benefit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
