I have mine in Star Cases but I don't take them out so I don't know if mine do the same as yours.

Let me know if you have the same problem I guess I am trying to gauge if its something I am doing or something that the guy I got them from did prior to me getting them (one of those ebay moc joes in star cases auctions)

Storm Shadow,

Take a piece of 2-3 inch wide cellafane tape. Place it over the inside section of the case that covers the foil
portion. It should protect the foil from peeling off. Try it with your most damaged card.

The only problem with gold/silver flake foil is its sensitivity. It is so thin.

Well I checked the 3 I have in Star Cases (PDD, Yellow Stalker and Zartan) all were fine. I keep them in a china cabinet on the second floor

Thanks for the advice..I did get a PPD in a PRotech protector pack (the case with the back that opens like a door) its much harder plastic and it seems to be fine..as for the cases that the back comes off completely...I am not lying when I tell you 10 out of 13 of them had the silver come off..but thanks for the tape idea I am going to try that

I've moved several carded figures from one case to another (I only had Star Case 2s on hand when I purchased my first round of 25th Anniversary figures, and I had to use some 2s a second time when I exhausted my first order of originals for the 25th collection), and I have had no problems.
