<p>[QUOTE="Irishraider, post: 153819, member: 6211"]These are my thoughts on the subject:</p><p><br /></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><span style="color: black"> I use Dansco and Whitman albums for my sets. I use airtites for my silver rounds and silver dollars. I quit using 2x2's because of some damage from staples to a couple of items, luckily they were of not big value but still, it sucked. I switched to flips for those items, I know there is a chance of scratching but I don't mess with them much. I put them in the flip and then in a 2x2 box. If you do the 2x2's then you need the pages to put them in if you don't want to take a chance on staple damage. That gets expensive. I went to a website I use to buy supplies and went back and forth on the pricing by putting things in my shopping cart. I would see how much that was then clear the cart and then add the next type of storage item to see how much that would be. If I could afford it, everthing would be in an airtite but that would be pricey. I try to balance it out on cost and value of what I have. I don't necessarily want to put a .15¢ wheatie in a .42¢ airtite. Just isn't feasible. I would rather have that money to put into more coins. I think like some of the other members mentioned, if it is worth a certain value then airtite it ($10, but you have to set your own limit here), anything below that you can then go with flips perhaps (pvc free of course) for $3-$10 range and then maybe 2x2's for the remainder. This is only my thoughts and opinions on the subject. The reason I posted is I asked this same question a few weeks ago so all the research I did and the pricing is all still fresh in my memory.</span></font></font></p><p><font face="Arial"><font size="2"><span style="color: black"></span></font></font>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
