Did you ever place your fingers directly on the plates? I had already known from past figures with vac metal on them to be careful handling them. Mine is loose, and has been on display since I bought it during it's initial release and it is still gold.

I bought one off eBay and it was silver, then I bought a E8 Drew from a shop a few months ago and the belt was gold, but it had probably been in storage in a warehouse for a few years.

I have 2 and I think they are both gold still. I know the one on my WMXXI Orton is. But the one on my E8 McIntyre is on the back of the shelf for my Elite display so it's not worth trying to get to him to check. lol the flash is distorting the color, but it's still gold...

Mine is loose, and has been on display since I bought it during it's initial release and it is still gold. I'm curious about this as well. Does it fade due to: 1. Being opened and handled? 2. Being opened and NOT handled? 3. Because of sunlight no matter if it's MOC or not? I always thought the fading was caused by the oils from your fingers.

Here is my fix of it, I did the rock purple switch, looks great in my opinion That's my favorite Jericho attire, I tried doing that one but I couldn't find enough pictures, even his match with Benoit didn't show much. So I just did his WWF debut match attire. (Blue tights) Mind sharing more pics of that Jericho from the side? Looks great. Here you go dude, sorry it took so long, also sorry for the giant pics, I only know how to do it one way from my ipad

My IC Belt that came with Elite 8 Drew McIntyre is still the correct color. It was in my room, not in direct sun light when it was on display, and since that belt was taken out of use in WWE, I've had it in a zip lock baggy with my other extra accessories.
Not sure what is causing some of them to fade, but mine is still good.

I remember this being brought a long while ago, but it was known then that they fade if you display your figures in direct sunlight. I learned the hard way.

It is indeed because of the sunlight. I experimented and kept a VAC World Heavyweight Championship in the direct sun, while I kept another in the dark. After about a week, the one in the light was silver and the one in the shade was still gold.

Yeah mine is silver too. Definitely wish they'd release belts more often.
I'd be ok with the purple belt switch, but the oval plates are different. I like the one originally on the black strap better. Of course that's the one that's faded.

There's no reason a belt that's still MOC would have any better chance of staying gold. It's not like it's anymore protected from the elements. Those boxes aren't vacuum sealed. The oils from your skin may play a role. They can oxidize the plates and make them change color over time. Maybe.
