I got some wise advice from a poster here on the community that has got me thinking I might ruin my coins in the long run by not using 2x2s or plastic slots containing no PVC.
Needless to say, I'm a bit stressed with the possibility of PVC in my 2x2s and plastic slots, but I have no way of knowing as the description on Amazon does not mention PVC at all!
I dug a bit deeper and came up with no information about PVC on the ones I purchased on Amazon. Is it supposed to say PVC free or something in the description? Mine DO NOT.
Any suggestion on types of plastic slots, or 2x 2s to store coins in?
If anyone knows about the different distributors and vendors on Amazon, here is what I bought:
FULLCASE, sold by ADAME
Jomevia, Gogoai, sold by TFUS
HICARER, sold by Mudor
Thanks for your help!

None of those are major brands.
You should buy them from a reputable dealer if you are not familiar with the brands, they are not that expensive.
How much money did you save buying them on Amzon if you ruin your coins?.
At this point I would say take a hit and replace them.

PS: If they smell like shower curtain they are definitely unacceptable.

I speak from experience.
About twenty years ago I bought a huge box of flips and pages from a fellow collector for $50, a lifetime supply, a great deal.
Not long after someone told me about the sniff test.

So very cool! The sniff test!!! They do not smell like shower curtains. LOL!!!
I don't think I've saved much at all, and will definitely buy from a reputable dealer to replace them all. Just in case! Better safe than sorry.
Thanks so much for all your advice. I really appreciate it!

I like mylar flips. They're convenient for me. You can buy them from wizard coin supply or the air-tites website. I've used both of those.
