[QUOTE="research, post: 7951217, member: 22667"]I've recently started getting into collecting more ephemera. Mainly trade cards and similarly sized pieces, but almost some larger pieces. As the amount grows, I'm struggling with how to properly and archival store them. [B]I was just curious what suggestions ephemera collectors have on long term storage.[/B] I can't seem to think of a convenient, safe way to protect them. [LIST] [*]I don't have access to flat files [*]Rigid protectors seem to trap moisture and cause more of a risk bending paper when inserting. [*]Stacking seems like it would cause damage to whatever was at the bottom [*]Storing in archival screen protectors (non rigid) in a binder cause paper to warp (learned this the hard way storing some photos like this upright in a binder) [/LIST] Appreciate any input or ideas![/QUOTE]
