<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Oldhoopster, post: 2853503, member: 84179&quot;]Baseball offers good advice.&nbsp; After you staple the 2x2, crimp the staples with a pliers.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been ding this for 30 years.&nbsp; Buy a chap pair of pliers form someplace like harbor freight and you won&#039;t have to worry about grease or anything from your tool box.</p><p><br /></p><p>Treashunt offers excellent advice as well.&nbsp; A lot of soft plastics are made from PVC.&nbsp; The plasticizer used to make PVC soft can also react with moisture to form nasty acidic stuff that attacks coins.&nbsp; Your binders look like they may be PVC.&nbsp; I think you said you lived in the Southwest, so the low humidity will work in your favor, but you should NEVER, EVER, EVER, NEVER, use soft PVC for long term storage (probably not harder PVC either but that is a different discussion).</p><p><br /></p><p>Cardboard 2x2&#039;s and things like SafeFlips do not contain PVC.&nbsp; I&#039;ve seen recommendations that you should not put cardboard 2x2&#039;s in PVC Pages.&nbsp; I live the northeast and use cardboard 2x2s in vinyl 20 pocket pages for low value coins and have had no issues even though some some stored this way for 30+ years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
