Is there a certain brand of 20 pocket pages for 2x2 coin holders that is better than the others? I've never bought any so I don't even know if there are different brands.

Do the pages scratch or cloud easy like some trading card pages do?

Also what is a good price for the pages?

The twenty pocket Cowens are pretty good, but a little more money. Around $0.65/page.

Thanks for the information. I checked ebay to see what prices were offered there & the best I could find on the Cowens was a 100 - 20 pocket pages for 2x2's for $60.00 + $5.95 shipping.

I also found BCW 100 - 20 pocket pages for 2x2's for $17.32 free shipping.

I think I'll have to go with the BCW with that big of a price difference. I'm sure the BCW will work well enough.

Be very carful when buying these pages, The majority of them contain PVC and will ultimately destroy your coins.
Normally Cheaper= Nastier

If they are NOT archival grade polypropylene don't use them is my advice, I have already learnt the hard way about the cheap and nasty pvc pages.
You can get the good ones for $12 AUD for 10x 20 coin pages, That's 6 cents per coin

Thanks for the heads-up.

The description of the pages states that they are acid free & are made of heavyweight polypropylene & states no PVC.

These should work then since they are PVC free & being less expensive helps.

Well I attempted to support a local coin dealer today by buying some coin pages. To my surprise he was asking 75cents each. Some of them looked liked they have been sitting for on the shelf years (dirty & discolored) & the others looked like the BCW's. I guess I'm going with ebay.

Thought I'd share my bad experience with a local dealer.

Those can be tricky. Difficult to know which is which as to who makes them since not all are the same. Most I've found do not contain PVC and some sort of state that. But if you buy from ebay or any on line place, you should make sure they are stated no PVC. At coin shows I've seen so many different ones of those and just can't be sure who makes them. And the prices are so different, that you can't go by that either. I've purchased some with a name on them and many without a name so no way to check what they are.
Worse is the 2x2's. No name on them so you never know who makes them.
