Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 8:55 pm Has anyone had extensive problems w/ their air tite holders cracking & shattering? I bought 100 air tites for my cent collection approx 2 yrs ago. At first, everything was fine. I used approx half of the holders in the first year w/ no problems. I started adding more cents to the collection recently, and I noticed that just about ALL of them have shattered/cracked. They have been stored in the closet in the same box they came in when I bought them. Have no idea what has happened. Help! Report this Post to the Staff

allranger Pillar of the Community United States 1391 Posts	Posted 08/09/2012 9:53 pm I haven't had any problems with mine. The only think I can think of is temperature swings, sunlight or maybe they were exposed to some kind of chemical vapors (shoe polish, carpet cleaner, etc.). Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 08/10/2012 06:58 am No extreme temperature or environmental fluctuations. They were in their original box, stored inside a rubbermaid storage bin w/ all my other supplies. It's just weird... Report this Post to the Staff
Captain Morgan Pillar of the Community United States 620 Posts	Posted 08/13/2012 4:04 pm I have used Air-titrs for quite a few years. Yes, I have had a few that seem to just crack on there own while empty. And I have dropped a few with coins in them and had the holder crack. But that said I still think a clean Air-tite is the best way to store lone collector coins that are not in a set. I wish the air-tite Albums were not so costly, if they were cheaper I would house most all my sets in these. Report this Post to the Staff
COMET Valued Member United States 223 Posts	Posted 08/14/2012 03:05 am I never had a airtite crack yet. Even dropped a few with the coin inside and they were still okay. I'm not a fan of the Airtite albums. Not only are they expensive I also don't like the way the pages are designed. The velvet feels cheap and they're simply glued onto a piece of cardboard. And for some reason the cardboard smells like a wet dog, ughhh. Report this Post to the Staff
carmykle Pillar of the Community United States 2448 Posts	Posted 08/28/2012 10:21 am Have you talked to the Airtite customer service department? They may even get you another batch if yours may have been a bad production batch. Just a hunch, you weren't living in Tampa, FL and then suddenly moved to Vail, CO? Report this Post to the Staff
Dave H Pillar of the Community United States 1436 Posts	Posted 08/29/2012 7:14 pm carmykle... No I haven't spoken w/ the Airtite customer service dept. I bought the A/Ts quite a while ago from a different coin supply company. Didn't really think they would do anything for me, but heck, it's worth a try. I've been in central Florida since 1985 and haven't moved... Report this Post to the Staff
