Yes I see where OGP for each commemorative would be a storage problem. It's so much easier to me having them slabbed. I have 9 NGC and 5 PCGS storage boxes almost filled now and I fathom finding additional room to store the OGP for each of them.

I don't have any classics. I just have a handful of moderns. I am slowly buying the ones that appeal most to me, not planning on going for a complete set. Mine are a mix of OGP and graded, proof and UNC.

A few of you mention storing in Lighthouse coin trays. I currently store in the OGPs which means I have to take everything out to take a peek. Was recently thinking of getting the Lighthouse capsule pages:

Anyone ever use these?

I don't see the point in buying (or paying) for TPG premiums on modern commemorative coins, even after market purchased in OGP.

Only have 10 classic commemoratives, no moderns. All came from public auction in the raw. All were seen 'in hand' before placing the successful bid. They are all still in the raw, grades range from EF to MS65.

My storage approach does not allow for slabs, so I have to have enough confidence in my own grading when placing a bid.
