    How weird. I was going to start the same thread but you beat me to it.

    I keep mine in folded in plastic sleeves according to toy line. The problem now is I have to many and need a new way to store them. Any ideas?

    Comics and catalogues I keep in a shoe box and cards a kept in card sheets.

    It's good to see you have a desiccant silica gel satchet in their too.

    If anyone else is thinking of doing something like this then it's probably worth mentioning that resealable plastic bags like those manufactured by Glad will actually trap moisture, hence are not appropriate for paper items or toys with stickers applied for long term storage.

    Hmm, interesting. I need to reorganise a little bit. At the moment, I have them arranged according to generation and in a baggy. My G1's for example are cut out and in a resealable bag, but it isn't sealed.

    The tin idea I like though. If they have cards, I have them grouped and put into the plastic bags that hole the instructions.

    Now though I have a tendency to keep the backing cards as well. Especially with Animated as they didnt have tech specs cards, but the bio and special powers on the backing card. So big and so many. Not too sure what to do with them.

    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.
