When did PCGS stop selling those wooden storage boxes?

Hi,
Mr. Spud and I rallied very strongly about 6 or 7 years ago to highlight the dangers of storing slabbed coins in wood boxes. From what I see PCGS no longer sells these boxes.
When did PCGS stop offering them and did they say why?
Best,
Eric

Yes, I think most of us expected that. But did they ever address this or were they quietly retired? The early results if accelerated testing, after much prodding here with polls and so on, were said to show nothing potentially dangerous despite nearly 80% of the room voting otherwise. Thanks. I am proud to have played any small role in getting these boxes pulled - it was the point of my online campaign (to protect coins, not to mess with PCGS).
Best,
Eric
I purchased the smaller of the two sizes in 2004. I used it to
store a No.1 Registry Mint Set (at the time...). I will often
take the box from the safe to show the set off. In all of this
time, I have yet to see any change in color/tone in any one of them.

I don;t think things tone as quickly in California. Even my taco bell napkins fail to make changes to a SAE that's been wrapped for 3 years.

Are they Jefferson nickels????
