Anybody Else Hate Cardboard Holders?

My grandpa's favorite coins were stored in vinyl pockets like this. http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/lig...-of-100.html

Yes, as soon as I learned about the problem with those old plastics and vinyls, I moved those coins into archival flips, but I loved the way they enclosed the coin, kept it easy to access them, and kept them visible.

Like you, I think my holder of choice will depend on the coin. I'll go with the capsules for my absolute favorites, just because I think that's probably the best protection that preserves the view. I already have a lot of flips to use up, but once I do, I think I'll check out these pockets. If they're really softer and less stiff than flips, I'll prefer them, even tho they don't have a spot for notes (maybe the corners will do).

I do not hate them. Most of my coins are in regular Dansco albums (holes cut to fit the coin). Coins which do not fit into those albums are placed in cardboard 2x2 holder which are in a Dansco albums made to hold them.
