    The older ones were PVC. I don't know if they still make them or the composition changed.

    Does it feel soft and flexible or hard and brittle - the latter is usually PVC

    The former.

    Vendor states:

    "Thank you for your order, Pages are made of vinyl, vinyl has PVC.
    The coins should be in a 2x2 Mylar flips."

    So it shouldn't hurt coins?

    It is full of PVC. Run, do not walk, your coins away from it.

    Maybe I am reading this wrong? Soft Bad, Brittle good. Is how I understand it.

    You are correct. @Che_Grapes may have misspoken and meant "former" rather than "latter". Soft is usually PVC.

    RIght, if you want a big binder, to be able to see your unslabbed coins easily.
    Or you can put them (in their cardboard 2x2s or plastic flips) in a box.

    Only if you are sure the flips are PVC free. If not sure buy some new MYLAR flips for the coins.

    Good point. I started collecting again recently after many years hiatus, and my supplies from yesteryear were suspect or known to have PVC. Started fresh...

    OP, stick with BCW - you can't go wrong. Made with polypropylene.

    BCW and a $10 binder works well 😸
    I’m in process of changing to new flips for everything. As you can see they hold most everything.

    I just realized I need an assortment of these. Maybe this one?

    If you have an album with PVC that you want to use just put the coins in Coin-Tain capsules. The capsule will protect the coins. I have coins stored in this manner for 25+ years and no signs of PVC on them.

    That book is a PVC factory. Yet another reason why I started making my own.
