Plastic Pages
At once time I had my chip collection in 2.5 x 2.5 flips in plastic pages inside 1" binders. I had tried larger binders, but the chips are too heavy and over time the binders would fall apart. Then I noticed that, over time, the plastic pages would give out also. So I only bought the best, Cowens heavy duty plastic pages. But even those, over time, would wear out, the holes for the binder would stretch and then break. These pages are made for coins, which are not as heavy as chips. But the worst thing about the plastic pages was rearranging. I would only fill each page with 10 chips, leaving 2 slots open for new additions. Every once in a while, I would get a full page and then another chip would show up. So I had to add a page to the binder, if there was room, and separate out the chips on to two pages. In the process, the flips would stick to the pages and were tough to get out, although I later learned that slot cards inserted front and back would make the job easier. But the pages were always getting torn anyhow. Now, I am happy with storing the chips in 2.5 x 2.5 flips in double row boxes. You can get about 170 to 180 chips in a box. You can print a label and stick it on the front of the box for easy identification. I think this is the only way to go, having tried many different methods over a long period of time. I do have some of my better chips in frames for display and in Dansco binders.
