Dansco binders are the ones with thick cardboard pages, diecut with holes the size of the chip you want to store. They have plastic "slides" on either side of the page that you slip out to get access to your chip. They are probably the ultimate in 'bookshelf storage' for your chips but are quite expensive due to the cost of the materials.

Although some have reservations about storing chips in vinyl pages, that's how I store mine and have had zero problems with any damage due to any reaction of the chemincals in the vinyl with the chips. This is by far the cheapest, easiest, and most accessible way to store your chips. Get 30 pocket pages, and you can store your chips directly, without need to put them in any other kind of individual holders.

If you do want to use the cardboard/mylar holders used in the coin hobby (2x2 cardboards), get the 20 pocket pages. This does have the advantage of letting you write chip history on the holder before you stick it in the page.

For either of the latter two methods, you can use any 3-ring binder to store the pages. There are binders made up with something related to chip collecting printed on the covers if you like those. You can get these from C.T. Coins or from Bill Akeman in Las Vegas if you want this feature. I just buy top quality binders from a warehouse office supply store for my collection.

LMK if you have any other questions or comments.
