netmatrix 0 Posted January 12, 2009 Actually i think my storage in cardbox isn't a good idea. I own a lot of comics too. And storing them in boxes attaracts water. Even if they are in plastic the card turns yellow. I'm sure Hw cards would turn dark grey once stored very long. I think i'm going to invest in dehumidifiers like Thirsty Hippo. Last time i had those fenced type display racks that is used to display hanged goods like hot wheels.. But i dumped it away because i find no use for them. But now.....

SanLino 0 Posted January 12, 2009 shouldn't be much of a problem if your room is not damp & humid or is anywhere near places that have water like bathroom, etc.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
