[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 7912904, member: 112"]Some do cover the cardboard completely and some don't. But even those that do, there's still the edges which gasses can and do go through. And the mylar itself, while it a bit less air permeable than some other plastics, it is still air permeable. The bottom line is cardboard 2x2s and flips are simply a bad idea all around. And the main reason that most people use them is because they are cheaper than holders do what they should be doing - protecting the coin as best it can be protected. There's an old saying about that, and like almost all old sayings it got to be an old saying because of the truth it contains - you get what you pay for. And then of course there's the times that you don't get what you pay for, namely most of the, rather expensive coin albums - that have probably been responsible for destroying more coins than any other single reason.[/QUOTE]
