<p>[QUOTE="SuperDave, post: 2550485, member: 1892"]I guess it depends on how you envision the use case for your "storage." The only possible rationalization for PVC-based flips is temporary storage for use in conjunction with shows and sales-based environments - Mylar is admittedly capable of scratching <b>nice</b> coins if you insert and remove them often enough, and will eventually crack with repeated handling. A few days in a (new) holder of the PVC type won't hurt anything.</p><p><br /></p><p>But you're not "storing" it if you handle it that often....</p><p><br /></p><p>Me, I image my stuff in sufficient detail to forestall the need to ever "handle" it again - the images are all the "handling" I need once they exist - so Mylar flips are a strict rule in my collection. PVC plasticizer degrades into hydrochloric acid (among other things), and patina won't stop that. I'm just_not taking the chance.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
