I see post that some do put a small hole in and have good results. I also seen some that has problems also. I recommend the glad press n seal. you can also put the lid on over it. the perfect condition for an egg is 100% humidity without the egg getting wet.
got my press n seal about a week ago gonna use vermiculite, egg crate on top of that then the eggs press adn seal then the lid and instead of a 1/4 hole every wed. I'll open a crack of the press and seal for 5 min. and let some fresh air in then last two weeks I'll use a little hole in the press adn seal somewhere. Sound good
