Nice review bud. What’s the cost on each sleeve if ya don’t mind me asking? I typically store my 2X2’s in a box. Considering some of these for better presentation. You know if lighthouse makes any of these?
Wow total fail on the price lol. Air-Tites. com has all but Entrust. The prices are as follows. *LeadDog* $0.65 for 1 $14.95 for 25 $55.95 for 100 *BCW* $0.30 for 1 $4.95 for 20 $19.95 for 100 *Entrust* $7.99 for 8 Lighthouse is represented on the same page at air-tites at $2.95 but I suspect these are similar to their slab album pages and are designed for the hard plastic 2x2 capsules. I think I left them out of my cart for that reason when I made the purchase. Thank you catching the mistake. Guess I’m pinning a comment to the top lol.
@@thenumismaticminute4619 I figured that was the case they only had hard plastic sheets. Thanks for the information! I may just look into doing this for the future!
Thanks for sharing! its also important to note that, to my surprise, not all 2x2 flips are made with PVC-free plastic! Although I do understand the pages themselves should have some PVC in them for flexibility, its important to make sure the flips are PVC-free to ensure no reactions happen with the coins. Keep the videos coming, we need more numismatic channels out there!
Great review. Thanks for sharing. Last year I purchased a box of the BCW pages. They are serviceable but not having the cutout at the bottom of each spot is a pain and standing upright in a binder the pages sag since the pages are so light weight. Wish I had known about the lead dog pages when I was looking. GD
GD Saving The Past it is that kind of experience with Entrust that led to the idea of this series of videos. I can see your point on BCW I just wish LeadDog had a more polished product.
Value Hunter It looks like I’m going to need to investigate these brands in more depth. Thank you for the heads up! I think it’s safe to say I’ve got more reviews to do lol.
Thanks for the review David. Note that BCW does offer pages with the thumb cut. Our thumb cut pages are made from vinyl, whereas the BCW pages you reviewed are made from polypropylene. The vinyl and poly pages are made in a different process, hence the thumb cut vs. no thumb cut formats. There are pros and cons for selecting vinyl or polypropylene pages. The vinyl pages are a thicker gauge material normally. The poly pages are normally thinner, more flexible, and are acid-free. Vinyl pages can slightly age (harden and/or yellow) over an extended time, depending upon the chemistry of the vinyl, and the storage environment. The polypropylene pages will age better.

BCW Supplies Thank you for taking the time to watch my video! It is important to know what people think about your product but I would have never guessed that my small channel would have been noticed. To me this speaks positively about BCWs customer service team. Perhaps in future I will be able to review some of your products offered directly from the website you provided. There are at least two (maybe 3) more videos on the way that include your products. I hope that you find them to be fair and informative.

Good review, I’ve always wondered which brand was better to put my coins in 2x2, I’d say lead dog is best choice. Thanks for sharing

good review. The BCW comes in thicker mil too. I get the 20C and they are more substantial (thumb hole at the bottom)

Are lead dog products PVC free?
