the bottom of the page is resting on the same place as the binder edges for support.


That's a good point

For what it is worth, I use Dansco binders with the 12 pocket 2x2 pages.

When using the 20 pocket 2x2 pages, make sure you use a binder where the bottom of the pages will be flush with the bottom of the binder.

I have always stored all of my coin album binders flat.
They go into a box, which is pushed under the spare bed, in the computer room / 'coin laboratory' , out of the way, out of sight.

These are all great suggestions. Right now I have some 2x2 in plastic pages but most are not organized. I like the idea of notebooks with dividers. I'd like to get some heavy duty pages. The ones I just bought are a little flimsy and the top row slips out too easily.

What brand pages does everyone use? I checked the internet and I see BCW, Cowens, Lead Dog and Lighthouse. thumb cut or plain version?

I have used BCW and Guardhouse. I prefer the Guardhouse thumb-cut pages.

If you are concerned that the high points of coins in adjacent album pages may bruise each other,
the problem can be solved by
inserting acid free thick paper interleaves between the album pages.

As a bonus the paper interleaves can be cross lined with a 2x2 grid. The 2x2 spaces can be used for writing up the details of the corresponding coin.


You can do the same sort of thing with 12 pocket slab album pages, where it may be undesirable to write on the slab itself.
