[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 4970832, member: 112"]No, but slabbed coins will and do go into cardboard albums. Albums that also typically have outer vinyl covers - vinyl that contains PVC. Even if you're trying to be humorous - you ARE correct. Coins should be kept away, far away, from any and all wood or wood products such as paper and cardboard. Sorry but this is just flat out wrong. Slabs are NOT airtight, nor are they watertight. The seal you're talking about, that seal is intermittent and all it does is stick the two plastic halves to each other in places - not all the way around the slab. And even if it did go all the way around the slab, the plastic itself the slab is made of - like almost all plastic, it's air permeable. Which means air goes right through the face of the slab itself. All by itself that renders what seal there is, completely immaterial.[/QUOTE]
