I thought if you saw vinyl or poly... i forget the name that is had PVC in it. I saw this ad that has crystal clear vinyl pages and yet PVC free did i miss understand this whole PVC thing? Is vinyl archival long term storage ( all vinyl ive ever dealt with had a smell and as a newbie i was told if it has a smell run the other way. )

Can someone set me strait. Im posting here cause if this can be explained well for me I think it will help alot of new collectors too.

PVC Free, non-pvc, is what you need to remember. BCW is one company that makes quality storage products.

I'm using BCW twenty pocket 2x2 pages to replace old Roosevelt and Mercury Head and Jeffersonson Nickel albums that have outlived their usefullness. I love em.
Makes inspecting my coins for upgrading so much easier. I've done it for my Wheat and Lincoln Memorial folders too, but not all of the them. I heartily reccommend them. mousey

I use the BCW pages as well. I don't staple the 2x2s though. I simple stick the coin in between, fold, and stick inside the slot. Stays just fine, and I don't have to worry about staple scratches. Beside that, I can take 'em out and look at them without the holder, which is ideal for die varieties.
