<p>[QUOTE="Billy Kingsley, post: 716949, member: 19456"]I like the holders that SellitStore offers. I had originally preferred the look of a different brand, (I don't know what it was, the notes I bought came in them) but I eventually was paying more attention, and noticed that the corners of those holders that I preferred were rounded on the inside...that's no good! If I have a note with good corners, and put it all the way into the sleeve...there go the corners. I've taken any note I had that has good corners out of there. </p><p> </p><p>Also, I think they might be made from PVC. PVC has a distinctive feel to it and the more I handled them the more I realized they were the same feel. </p><p> </p><p>Besides currency I also collect trading cards. The most popular way to store cards is in PVC pages. I learned long ago NOT to use them because if the cards were UV coated, it would be damaged by the PVC, they would loose their shine and take on a hazy look. Luckily currency is not UV coated. </p><p> </p><p>I don't think you will find acetate used too much any more. It's too volatile. As it ages it turns yellow and warps. Early model cars were made of Acetate and now 90 to 95% of those still in existance are warped badly, and there is no way to repair them; the companies switched to styrene in the early 60s and the plastic does not change over time like the acetate does.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
