In your opinion, what is it about them that makes dangerous?

Thanks, in advance.
The flap covering all 9 cards. A single flap covers the three card holder line.
It gets in the way (scratches) the cards going in, and coming out. Then you have to deal with folding the single flap over the three cards in each row.

Take a page out, the pages fold over and end up pulling the flap off of all the cards in a page. So you are putting them all back over each card most every time you pull a sheet to inspect a card.

And they are lighter/thinner. The non-secure sheets are 14 grams and the secure ones are 10 grams. Yep, I weighed them. They even feel more flimsy to me also.

It is annoying enough for me to be replacing one of my sets, thankfully the only set I used them on to the non-secure version of the sheets. I am changing out a number of my sets from sheet holders I purchased in the 90's that I am not all that confident are archival safe. This is what lead me to finding the yucky ones. I bought them not realizing that they were different. Now, I am more careful as to which ones I pick up.

Cheers,

Butch
