I dislike the look of 3 or 4 staples on 2x2 cards, I tried tape but that's a pain to do for every one (without getting fingerprints embedded) and saw self-sealing 2x2's.

I was wondering if anyone uses these and would be interested in any 'consumer reports'

I do - they're great. I use the Lighthouse brand (you can see some here: http://www.wizardcoinsupply.com/lig...oin-holders/ ) - I tried a different one before and they didn't stay stuck, which was extremely annoying! They are more pricey than the regular 2x2's, but they are slimmer, take up less room in a package (especially when sending a lot), you don't have to worry about the staples, and they're quiet, so 2x2'ing coins at 3am isn't going to wake anyone up

- they should be awake helping, and learning. If they aren't, then get 'em up.

I don't use self-adhesives: too many horror stories of the adhesive failing after a year or two.
And, non-adhesives are cheaper: I prefer to spend my money on coins, rather than on storage, although I acknowledge that some expenditure on display, storage, and security is inevitable.
