Long term storage of cards

Hello board members. I just finished what was about a year and a half long vacation from collecting. I browsed through some cards after a recent move and really felt the need for a little CU board fix. Reading some of the threads you guys have posted since last time I signed in has really put a smile on my face and gotten me back in the collecting mood. Thank you for all of your amazing posts and incredible sports card knowledge.
All this said - I have a question that has probably been answered in some thread somewhere along the way. But what is the best card holder for the long term storage of singles? I currently have all of my cards in Card Saver 1's, as I've pretty much sold off/given away all of my commons and low grade stuff. Are CS1's safe for long term storage?
Thank you in advance,
Jeff

<< <i>Thank you Diamondman - I appreciate the response. What do you recommend for single cards? I know a lot of people use penny sleeves inside hard cases, but would you favor this over Card Saver 1's? >>
I always use the penny sleeves with the card savers & the hard top loaders and always with the 2 piece screw downs for single cards.
I really have no preference over card savers or top loaders both work very well. matter of fact have my 86 jordan in a penny sleeve & card saver been there for about 2 yrs now (someday I will get it graded).
still have a few sets in 9 pocket (pvc free pages) and binder and laying down flat.
the main worry with cards and unopened packs/boxes is temperature and humidity (lost quite a few 8X10 autographed photos due to temp & humidity ( it got hot and the 8X10s stuck to the plastic and ruined the autographs (live & learn & cry). JMHO
