    Card sleeves are open on the top. They'll only be wet if you put them in wet.

    I'm looking to move my instructions and cards to folders and sleeves from snap lock bags soon.

    I use snap lock bags for my tech specs and a small photo album (with acid free sleeves) for my instructions.

    It depends...
    + trading card sized tech specs = plastic card-holder sleeves in folders
    + non-trading card sized tech specs = roller tool box - I keep accessories in there too, but there's one compartment where I keep these tech specs
    + instructions and catalogues: accordion folders - combined weight is heavier than Fortress Maximus! (>5kg!)

    a visual



    the "medium sized" boxes are great for instructions and the "large sized" fits card backs and box backs nicely (aside from supreme sized)

    and then they stack on my shelf

    This is a well timed thread, coz I have been wondering about trying an alternate storage method.
    This is my current sh!tfight:


    I was leaning toward using plastic pockets in a ring binder; sort of one for each bot with all their papers, dvds, print outs, card-backs, or whatever.
    I imagine the problem will be with different sized instructions (ie bigger than A4 plastic pocket).
    Does anyone use a method like this?

    There is potential for some G1 transformers stickers to develop fungus in the form of tiny lines because they are in their own sealed little micro climate in these bags whenever the temperature increases and decreases. I don't think this would affect cards in sleeves as there is a slit at the top, and providing you keep them in a stable environment.

    Fischer is great, and it's Australian made too. I also use Coates plastic stack able drawers to store various parts.
