Materials:
- Polypropylene (no pvc, no acid). Thin but flimsy, no thumb cutouts, 2x2s may slip out if you hold the page upside down. Very cheap - you can get them for as little as $20 for a box of 100 pages.
- Vinyl. Thicker and much more durable. Pages have thumb cutouts. Usually around $56 for a box of 100 pages.
Brands:
BCW - polypropylene or vinyl pages
Lead Dog- vinyl pages
Cowens - vinyl pages
If you only need a few pages, it's cheaper to buy them on E-Bay because s&h is already included in the price. If you need a lot of pages, buying a box of 100 makes it cheaper per page. Shipping is usually ~$10 for orders over $50 and free for orders over $100.
Is there any other options because I’m thinking of getting some hartberger flips to store my collection in (nearly 3000 coins, 50 notes) but when I search for pages I found out they are quite expensive in large quantities ( to hold 20,000 for world coins, 2,000 silver, 2000 U.K. coins and 900ish notes) because I would like to buy in advance to avoid moving the whole collection every time I run out of space.
Hi to whoever is reading this. Did you know that TYPEWRITER (on a QWERTY keyboard) is the longest word you can type using only the letters on one row of the keyboard.

To be totally honest, unless you have the cash outlay to invest in storage options today for every single coin you ever plan to own, what you buy today will probably evolve or be somewhat changed within 3 years. Buy as your budget allows. If you find something you like, keep buying until it is not available any longer. If you buy something you don't like don't buy again and replace as you can. The best advice anyone could ever give you though is just to avoid storage options that destroy your coins.
