Whats the best way to store unopened Hobby Boxes?

Skyhawks1b

When my daughter was born last June, i decided to purchase a bowman jumbo hta box each year. When she turns 18....whether she likes it or not by that time we are going to have a hay day!!! My question is ...what is the best way to store these? Cards will stick together over time im sure but if there is a science to this please let me know.

Thanks

Really depends you where you live but humidity control is very important. Where I live humidity is a major problem so I have damp rids in the closet. AC helps a lot also.

make sure they are off the floor to prevent flooding issues.

I would think dark, cool and dry is ideal. I wonder if Rubbermaid boxes would provide suitable protection?

I feel like my whole unopened collection is in danger of someday being discovery and ripped by my two year old son. That's something to consider when stashing this box.

The only thing i have to worry about is me opening them!! Haha

I thought about just getting some rubbermaid tubs & store them that way.

I put the thin kind of bubble wrap around the nicer boxes I have for some added protection to help keep the cardboard nice. Then after that in some nice plastic storage boxes I have. I think a key thing is to be careful of stacking the card boxes on top of one another. You don't want the weight pressing down and squishing the bottom boxes. I see lots of photos here of great collections sitting in the open and stacked 5 or more high. I imagine long term that can't be great for storage.
