Some stinking rotten company made 2 x 2's with a thin layer of glue
on the outside. I suppose it was easier for them to coat the entire
plastic strip to fit the punched paper than to just put the glue on the
paper itself.
Of course this glue caused all the items put into 2x 2 pages to adhere
to the vinyl. It's taken me years to fix this since there were hundreds
of them.

There are lots of nice coins being ruined every day by foam rubber. If you have
any of this it's probably already too late for the coins.
oops...that's a coin, and you said to exclude coins.
My vehicle was not purchased as a coin storage device, but it has been used as one and it's pretty bad to the coins that were stored in it.
that's not a good choice either.
Dip, used properly and judiciously can help some coins. Of course, it has ruined many more than it has helped; I do not deny that.
This product, a coin toner available on eBay is, by me, considered harmful in all cases.
I also agree with the folks saying foam. Some types of foam disintegrate with age and take the coin with it; it seems to eat right into the metal!
Foam rubber is not quite the right word for it.
But anything made with true rubber is to be avoided as well...rubber is vulcanized with sulfur.

A type of foam rubber commonly used in the 1960's was the worst of all. It would actually eat into the surface of the coins. It was used in many plastic snap-lock holders.
but those gold and platinum plated state quarters
are a thought.
Just kidding there. No need to flame.
I agree, dip. I think dipping is at the heart of doctoring a coin. Thats where it all starts, its a gateway drug.
