If your worried about your old holders try these guys out . I believe they don't handle any supplies containing PVC . The most important thing about coin storage is to keep them away from Humidity and moisture . Best is cool dry environment all year long . Wizard coin supply I believe will answer any storage question you may have .

My suggestion also.

Saflips and Dansco albums.

My rule of thumb is to check on you collection once or twice a year at a minimum and see what's going on. If anything looks like it wearing out replace it. Rusty staples, brittle flops or pages, extra soft flips or pages. Discoloration of the plastic.

Usually the problem's occur and get bad when people put it up for years and don't check what's going on. And they come back to a surprise.
Collecting supplies get expensive. I don't really suggest spending money on it unless you need to. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

If you do storage bins, buy food safe ones. Just on the off chance pvc or other chemicals are used when they made them. Some storage bins have this weird (cooking oil?) Smell to them. I don't think something like that is a good idea.

As was said moisture is the real enemy. Hard temp changes that cause condensation or humidity has a great affect on how fast everything deteriorates but dry rot can also be an issue which is why I recommend checking your collection regularly, at least annually, for any new problems with storage that need to be corrected or replaced. It all should look as it did when you last looked at it. If it doesn't it's deteriorating. If it looks the same nothing needs to be done.

very good advice and much appreciated. Decided to keep my slabbed coins in a 3 inch binder with zipper closure all around to prevent any lost slabs! bought the plastic sleeve pages that hold the 9 slabs per page. I find it an excellent way to easily store and see them. thanks all for the advice.
