moonbeams Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 So I'm a Misfits collector and in our community, we have a strange problems. Our colored Earth ADs have been changing color. Its only apparent rent in the green and yellow copies. Over the past few years, a lot of the pure yellow copies have been turning brown. I have a green copy that used to be pure apple green, but lately has been turning cloudy with yellow/brown smoke. I'd post pics, but I'm not at my PC now. Its not just my copy, but almost everyone's green and yellows are decaying. It's kind of sad because these go for $1500 to $2000. Some of these copies haven't seen daylight, so it's not UV radiation. Some have been stored in paper, so it's not a reaction to plastic sleeves. So here's the question, do you have any 30 year old colored records in which the dyes have recently started to decay? coreystevens88 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nico Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 I have some early 80's die cut picture disc where the clear vinyl starts to color brown. Never heard something like that when it comes to regular colored vinyl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you go in a closet with a flashlight? hammertime, Duff, youspinmeround and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jhulud Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 That's weird but I've heard of and seen other types of plastics go through that as well. I collect action figures and have a few from the 80's and 90's still in their packaging and whatnot and the clear clamshells started to yellow. They've been away from any sunlight or UV and some even in boxes in storage. Granted, it's not exactly 100% same material as vinyl records but it may be along the same lines of just a breakdown of it? There's gotta be some science in there to explain it. I'm honestly curious now. jack8urt0n 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dantheriver Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 Mooooooooonbeams. Haven't seen a thread from you in a while. This one is at least kind of interesting but all of the before and after pictures only look different to me because of the differences in lightning. Shrug emoji. hammertime and Duff 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74R Posted July 1, 2016 Share Posted July 1, 2016 It's weird. Most my hardcore records before the early 90s have no problems but everything after that seems to be full of breakdowns. Especially my Earth Crisis & Hatebreed records. Color of the record doesn't seem to matter much/if at all. hammertime and TheGhostOfRandySavage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then enough people got it in their heads that the records had looked different in the past and now others believe it via the power of suggestion. Classic Berenstain Bears situation. Mystery solved.
