Does anybody have any comments on this product? The pages & inserts seem to be a bit too soft for my liking - any possibility of PVC damage to the coins, or are they safe for long term storage, as they state?image

    I use the Guardmaster series for all of my Canadian circulated sets. They are advertised as containing no PVC. My only issue is with the large cent album - the coins are 1" in diameter and are a very tight fit in the 1" window.

    Thanks for the feedback, folks...it makes me feel much more at ease. I will begin to fill the slots tomorrow! It just seemed from the softness of the plastic that it must have some PVC in the formulation - I guess not.
