David SmithYou think touching the shiny crap is bad, don't let it get cold.
About 10 years ago, I loaded up a bunch of shiny crap, put it into my trunk and was taking it to a flea market to see if I could sell it. Well, on the way there, someone (I don't know who because they never caught them) ran a red light and totaled my car. I was put into an ambulance and taken to the hospital while my car was hauled to a police impound lot.
This happened in daylight during February and it wasn't that cold (in the 40's?). Overnight, the temp dropped into the 20's. The next day, when I went to look at my car and retrieve whatever I could, I opened the trunk and saw the shiny crap.
The UV coating had cracked on some of the cards and most of the rest were really curled up. So, if you collect this stuff, make sure the cards dont' get exposed to temps below freezing.
