Long-term storage solutions?

[markgr]

I'm considering a long-term storage solution for my graded cards, but I live in an area with a lot of humidity. Anyone have any ideas for at-home long-term storage for vintage graded baseball cards -- other than safety deposit boxes?

What are the best cases that can keep out humidity? Do I need to add anything to them (eg, desicant)?

Thanks.

Humidity is certainly not your friend and you’ll want a stable environment where the temps are cool and do not fluctuate.

I would speak with one of these companies that specialize in archival storage methods and materials:

I use these archival boxes from nativearchival.com. Look great and fit the graded card holders like a glove. Would not hurt to throw a desiccant packet in there if humidity is a concern. They do also make a larger box that holds several of these boxes:

Thanks for the response. I will check these out. Any experience with any Pelican-like cases in terms of keeping out humidity?

Have used Pelican cases but not for storing collectibles. They’re supposedly waterproof. Trick is not to allow moisture to be inside to begin with before closing them up.
