<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 2701634, member: 15199"]Obviously if there is a diffraction image on the plastic, the plasticizers are still there, If they are old albums, probably they are OK, Remember it isn't really the polyvinyl chloride but the plasticizers to make it flexible. If you lived in a relatively low humidity , moderate to high temperature, and didn't store them squeezed together, you probably saw very little damage. If the pages are brittle, they no longer have the plasticizers. I have some over 25 yrs old, and since I did store the coins first in a polyethylene sleeve like ANACS did before slabs, they did not develop the "disease".[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
