Hi all, New to this forum. I recently stopped at Target (here in Canada), since they are selling everything in there stores I thought it might be a great chance to buy display cases or anything else that would be used for storing my 2x2s. I came across these cosmetic displays that normally hold nail polishes and other cosmetic items. They were selling them for 1$ each. Id like to have your input. Thanks  |

Hey Richie, welcome to the forum! That is a really good idea, I was just at Target the other day too, wish I would have known ahead of time I definitely would've picked a few up. I keep mine in binders but before they get there I generally just have them laying around all over my desk, this would keep it more organized.

That is pretty awesome for organizational purposes. What did they cost you?

Cost was only 1$ each. I was amazed so I bought about 20 of them. I also keep my 2x2s in binders but extras usualy get placed in boxes so atleast this way they can be organized while beeing stored.

Also forgot to mention that these cosmetic trays have spring loaded arms that always keep your 2x2s at the front.

Ya, when I seen it I knew exactly what you had going on. I am going up to Fredericton Thursday. I hope some are left.

I'm heading back to Target right after university today. I hope they are still open, I went last Friday and the shelves were pretty empty, I know they had a ton of these though.

Welcome aboard RichieD613! That's a great way to store extras! Nothing worse that having a bunch of loose 2x2 laying around on the desk. I had heard Target in Canada was closing it's stores on the CBC.

I go to the bank and ask for the boxes that hold the $2 rolls in `em... they`re super cheap (FREE!!) and fit perfectly... for presentation purposes you can sometimes pick up old slide holders or slide containers they also are perfect for 2x2`s

Wow, what a great idea. I will have to check out my local Target to see if they have any.

to the forums Richie Looks like a good way to have them sorted and displayed. Does the spring loaded arm make it hard to sort through if you are looking for a specific coin? |

Excellent way to store coins, and the most space efficient, but a little hard to find one in thousands; each coin has to be tipped to inspect. I guess that is why 20 pocket album pages are favoured by some.
Your method of storage is best with very large collections, provided that it is supported by a data base.
