The last couple of times I have bought the 30 pocket pages (not from you, C.T.), they were so brittle that often the entire front of the pocket would break off when I inserted a chip. It would appear they are either reducing the amount of plasticizer in the PVC, or converting to a new plastic entirely. I know they were intended for holding cardboard mounts, not casino chips, but I've used them for chips for over 20 years, and the old ones are still very flexible and elastic. There have always been occasional breaks in the seals around the pockets; this is a new problem with actual breakage of the cover sheet.

Any chance you have any of the old batches of 30 pocket pages, C.T.? If so, I could use a box. I do like the heavier material that Cowen uses, rather than the thin stuff you see in some other brands.
