Sleeve, toploader in a team bag is probably ok under most conditions.

I don't use the team bag, I just don't think it adds much. Plus I'm cheap sometimes.

Most houses these days have some climate control and are built to keep dampness out.

Now in an old house like mine, bagging on a very humid day then storing in an attic with major temperature swings could cause a problem. I've seen bagged ephemera at flea markets that has obvious condensation inside the bag.
BUT
I have other stuff stored in the attic that was bagged on humid days and haven't seen any issues whatsoever in over 20 years.

I used to use the penny sleeve/top loader/team bag method for decent cards. I used the team bags only because when I'd look through the cards without them, the top loaders would scratch each other sometimes and I was OCD about it. Commons stayed out of any packaging and went into boxes.

I'll still pick up raw now and then but my goal is to have everything I get graded for the sole purpose of if I kick the bucket one day, at least my family members will know what the heck they are looking at and dealing with.

I started using team bags over toploaders to keep out dust. It's hard for me to believe they are harmful. Then again, I don't know much.

Once again, THANK YOU, to all who have responded. I am starting to feel better about my storage method. We do not have too many moisture issues in my house, except winter time things get a little dry.
Happy Holidays to everyone here on Net 54
