    Yes.

    Not systematically, but I have accumulated a number of them over the years.

    The collector mentality in me, I guess.

    Only when they come with a coin I have won in the auction ... to preserve any important provenance.

    No. In fact, I am guilty of throwing at least a few in the garbage.

    Yes! Especially when they come with Early Copper auction lots and neat provenances.

    Not exactly a flip but it came with the coin and I like it, so I kept it.
