<p>[QUOTE=&quot;oz_in_ohio, post: 2842677, member: 89534&quot;]Fantastic chewmassa</p><p>Glad to see someone like me knows how to spend his / her money wisely.... I dont use the cardboard 2 x 2 holders nor do i get items slabbed. I mainly sell the cheap end of the market and i dont feel the cost of the stationery would be worth it to sell less than $2 a coin. .if you can picture the clear plastic top of a shirt box, i cut that plastic to size of the 2 x 2 holder and after done, trim it to the size you want.&nbsp; staple every side on the plastic.</p><p><b><u>This is for 2 reasons.</u></b></p><p>&nbsp;The plastic is harder than on the cardboard holders and i do not have to pay for that plastic used.... Even the clear tops that come on the top of yoghurt containers are great as the plastic on them is even more harder and protective.... On top of that, some coin dealers have 2nd hand coin pages and they normally ask 25c ( a quarter ) a page as they are pre loved.</p><p>I do not believe in buying new stationery and when one wants to sell the coins, the stationery is more often then not included in the buying price. 20 pocket pages are my favoutite but i also use smaller at times.</p><p>Lastly if you study the grading notes in any coin catalogue well enough, you can grade for yourself.... These is what is stated in the book i have.... As i have been doing numismatics and philatelics for over 50 years, i never use a grading company....
