<p>[QUOTE="coinhead63, post: 1364225, member: 28001"]With any type of holder, folder or album, find out if it is archival quality. If so, toning or worse yet, corrosion will be reduced or eliminated. Typically you get what you pay for. That's the difference between the blue folders (Whitman) and the costlier ones such as Dansko. Quality storage methods equal a quality collection years from now. Of course all of this is a waste of time and money if you decide to store your collection in a damp place. I was at a coin dealer a couple of years back looking for some silver proof sets. He had just received a lot from a seller that he bought sight unseen. I stood there as he broke open the cardboard box that contained about two dozen proof sets in original mint packaging. To both our deep dismay, especially his, EVERY set had some degree of moisture damage. Most notably the cents. We both agreed that these had been in a basement, attic or a storage unit.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
