I ordered a complete set in 9-pocket pages on eBay. Got it and it looked great. Cards are in good shape and the pages look alright at first glance. The pages look clean, not too old, and they are Ultra Pro Platinums. However, if you touch the very very top of the pages they feel hardened and some pages actually start to crumble and fray upon touching them. I replaced all the pages and am not too worried about the purchase because the price was good just for the cards alone. But does any know how pages end up like this? I really hope to avoid this happening to my pages in the future.
