Just wondering, I have been a long time US coin collector and keep coins in 2X2 in 20 pocket pages in binders one for cents, one for nickels, one for dimes,,,,,

I've just started to collect US Transit tokens and need to know the best way to store them while allowing access and the ability to add nhew ones as they are acquired. I was thinking of pages by state but seems like a lot of moving around when a new one from a new city is acquired... Any thoughts?

TIA

It sounds like you are putting them in pages sorted by state? What about having a page ear-marked for one state? this may mean having some pages with only a few tokens, but adding new cities would mean inserting the new token in the state's page. Then if you fill the page up, add another page for that state.

The easiest is as stated above I use 2x2 flips with the info on custom cut heavy card stock. Cheap when you by a page of assorted color cover stock at the big box office stores, and a good paper cutter. Instead of the thin ones that they sell with them and then place in 2x2 pages one for each type of tokens or state and then add as you need them the 10 packs of pages are cheap enough on line.
Mine are still in flips in the cardboard coin storage boxes. As it seems life has gotten in the way of this hobby again. There is always wintertime!
The only thing I would add buy some good heavy duty 2" D ring thick binders to hold the token pages brass weight does add up and get heavy. The thicker binders will get heavy and hard to use
