joboman Valued Member Canada 68 Posts	Posted 08/26/2012 04:11 am I recently put all of my more collectable SML into quadrum plastic cases and I just took a look at them today and a lot of them have white marks on them! They look like water marks or blotches, is there a good way to get rid of them or anything to dip them in? Report this Post to the Staff

traevin Pillar of the Community United States 1454 Posts	Posted 08/27/2012 04:22 am joboman, You're hardly alone. Some of my favorite privy SMLs have developed spots over the years. I believe one of the members (Sel?) said the mint had overcome the issue and the spots were a thing of the past. Report this Post to the Staff
