Colgan's Chips - storage

[Wynn0013]

I appreciate the replies and information! I doubt I'll have it graded due to the paper loss but i agree, SGC looks much better on these. I didn't consider a tin for storage but that makes a lot of sense if I add more and it's a cool addition as well. I will likely go that route or the card saver 2s.

The 3 that I have I just use the tobacco sized top loaders with matching sleaves.

I made a video a few years back showing my Colgan’s collection and you can see my storage choice. I use trimmed down card savers to stabilize and then insert into binder pages.

I would also consider doing a penny sleeve in a regular toploader. That's how I used to keep my raw ones. My only one now is raw, and as far as I know, this is the container and contents. I think I have the card in a sleeve and toploader, as mentioned.

These will fit in a coin holder, and there is this one on ebay right now:

Pages with pockets for the those coin holders are available as well-- I use them for my px7 disks.

The Colgans are about the size of a silver dollar. I tried one or two in those coin holders but got a little skittish so went back to the penny sleeve/topholder approach. The Colgans are so thin that I was concerned they could slide from the plastic see-through part into the cardboard holder and get pinched there, and/or if any pressure were applied while in that state, it would most certainly cause a crease. Now mine did not slide in the week or two I left them there, but the way things can move around when storing pages and binders I did not want to have to check every one each time I looked at it, so I chickened out. Maybe they will hold just fine, and I suppose you could staple around it to make it more secure (although personally I hate the way that looks) but that was my worry.

The older style coin protectors had no adhesive--you were forced to staple them shut. While I agree that the staples don't provide the most ideal aesthetic, it may be safer and make the skittish rest easier. I think I would prefer using the coin holders over anything else because of how nicely they fit the discs. Anything else just looks so loose and wrong to me.
