How do you store your flip inserts and old envelopes?

One thing I love about Stack's is that I tend to get a lot of old envelopes and flip inserts with my pieces from them.

Do you keep these and, if so, how do you store them?

    I used to leave them taped to the slab, however you can't really enjoy the piece that way.
    I've since dedicated a PCGS blue box to storing them all.

    I use a ziplock baggie.

    Unless they are from a famous collection or collector, I usually just toss them. I have too much clutter already.

    If they are interesting, I store them with the coin.... Otherwise I just relegate them to the circular file.... Cheers, RickO

    I don’t get coins from Stacks and such but all my unused flips an such are in a big pile on a shelf in my bookcase.

    I don't have many, but they're scattered across a few PCGS boxes.

    I keep them in extra PCGS boxes I have accumulated over the years.

    I put my slabs in baseball card team set baggies to protect them from scratches and drop the envelopes/flip inserts inside them on the reverse side.

    Q: When does a collector become a numismatist?



    A: The year they spend more on their library than their coin collection.



    A numismatist is judged more on the content of their library than the content of their cabinet.

    Those of interest I keep in the back of the box that holds the corresponding slab.

    I store all old flips and inserts with information in the trash can. :D

    I throw that stuff out....unless it was really obviously of historical importance.
