[QUOTE="funkee, post: 1492879, member: 37925"]When PVC is exposed to moisture, it tends to produce hydrochloric acid in small amounts. Over time, this can cause discoloration and make the paper more brittle. We're talking about years and years. I had purchased some of the rigid holders under the promise of a dealer than they were PVC free. After looking around, I couldn't find any non-PVC holders with that specific design. Although it might take 20 years for PVC to do any significant damage, I figured it's not worth it. I bought a new set of holders that are safe for long term storage and moved the valuable notes over to those.[/QUOTE]
