There is a brand that I use called Ultra-Pro. It is very good and I find that it suits my needs perfectly. Just make sure that you stay away from sheet protectors/sleeves that are made out of vinyl and make sure it is Acid Free and PVC Free or your autograph could basically be eaten away.

Mailman quite honestly I wouldn't get paranoid I have seen nothing but acid free plastic pages for at least 10 years. The days of plastic pages containing PVC is over. The pages you purchased I'm sure is safe. Heck I'll take em if you don't want them. :lol: Relax and enjoy your fine.

Don't use those very-plastic-ones that are thin... I would use the thicker ones that are a bit more, well... thick

:P
I best change them then :wink:

I think most of the thicker varients are acid free :)

hm, usually if you purchase them at a craft store they are acid free. I bought binder clear inserts at a drug store and they were acid free as well. Both of the packs had a sticker on the front that told how many pages were included, and that they were acid free.

here is a description of what can happen to paper that contains acid

Acid-free paper is paper that has a neutral or basic pH (7 or greater), although paper having a pH between 6 and 7 is often also considered acid-free. During production, it is treated with a mild base to neutralize the natural acids occurring in wood pulp, and it may also be buffered to prevent the formation of additional acids (as may develop from the application of sizing).

Acid-free paper is often used in books and other paper products intended to last for a long time. Paper that has not had its acidity neutralized yellows and deteriorates.article from Wikipedia

They're from a food store who sell stationary supplies :roll:

what brand are they?

by TheMailman » Sat Dec 30, 2006 3:04 pm

Thanks whosurdaddy {up}

The packaging displays no indication that they are acid or acid free :|

The plastic pages themselves don't usually say acid free. Check the box/packaging they came in. Usually the only thing marked on the pages is the Brand. I use staples, the box says acid free/archival safe but the pages themselves just say staples. I wouldn't worry too much just about all if not all pages made today are acid free/archival safe.
