Message:: [QUOTE="Just Carl, post: 353844, member: 4552"]Almost any Album is safe to some degree. So much depends on where you keep your albums and not the album. Even any of Leather. Leather is treated so as to keep it softer longer and this chemical slowly leaks out and will attack some Copper type coinage. Eventully there is no more of anything to leak out and the leather becomes more brittle and safe. Most Dansco and Whitman Ablums are not Leather and are completely safe but again it depends on the location you store them. If, for example, you keep all those albums in a basement of about 50% or more humidity, eventually the coins will be effected since no album is air tight. As to PVC, same thing. Common misunderstanding about that product. Go to your neighborhood store that carries piping supplies. Note that the greatest majority of that is PVC and is used for the water supply in your homes. Are you insides turning green? Many people put the albums in a safe in thier basements. Nice except when you slam the door of the safe you lock in that humidity unless you have the safe loaded with humidity gel packs. As to Dansco Albums. They are becoming the largest sellers in my area where Whitman used to reign. Not sure why but I like Whitman Albums but that is due to having over 100 of them. Not due to thier superiority.[/QUOTE]
