the next big problem for collectors of bpc sets.brittle plastics.

[kc8adu]

while tossing a bunch of late 70's-90's sets today i found quite a few that the plastics had gone brittle.
as in falling apart!aoc,sony,and sanyo being the worse.the spectricon(rebadged aoc)literally fell apart when i picked it up by the side handgrips.the broken plastic stinks too.looks like these may turn to dust like catalins by the time they are collectable.
many played but could not even give them away without waiting months for pickup.
good news is nearly no effort to bust em up in the cans.
