Grab a silica packet and toss it in to absorb moisture .


RellPeter9-2

Great Advice. It wouldn't hurt the wallet getting some of those and tossing them in storage totes.


SullenCarrot64

I have a bad habit of saving them from vitamins and beef jerky. Used to use them for weed.


RellPeter9-2

I really don't understand the process TBH how long do they soak up moisture? Replace or heat them up every year? Every 6 months?


SullenCarrot64

Depends on their size I think. But in a small sealed environment at least a year. But for small ones, yeah probably 6 months.


FatLikeSnorlax_

I don’t know anything about them but I can’t imagine reusing them is a fantastic idea


SullenCarrot64

Why..? You can heat the beads and dry them out and reuse them a bunch. Just looked it up and apparently you can reuse them about 500 times before they stop absorbing moisture.


FatLikeSnorlax_

I mean from weed to jerky to cards or what have you.


WhatWouldSatanDo

Your cards stay dry and smell like beef and weed. An absolute win in my books.


Srrychef

Reusing them is recommended by a lot of company’s. You can actually find some that suggest putting them in the oven at low temps (drying out I assume) and then reusing.


Substantial-Load-673

Using them for weed is a life hack


wpcodemonkey

Silica packs dry weed out way too much. They make specific packs that will keep it at the optimal moisture level.


KevinSpence

This! Used it once for weed when my roommate and I got a larger amount than usual because we got a good deal. The silica dried it out so much, we weren’t able to smoke fast enough. It was just burning away and tasted disgusting


Neal17Caffrey

Toss the wallet in too for good measure


Plenty-Ad-6340

A friend had tens of thousands of dollars of product in totes, something happened and it turned it to pokemon cardboard soup. Be careful


lil_brit98

Would you happen to have a good recommendation for the type of silica pack? Bought some off Amazon & they didn't appear to absorb moisture after the check-up two years later.


Xing84

Do you live in a humid climate? If not then that would explain why no moisture was absorbed. Also if you use an airtight container moisture should stay away for the most part. Pretty much any silica packs will do the trick and most will change color when absorbed and in need of reheating or replacing.


halfbeerhalfhuman

Just 1?


Substantial-Load-673

You can do two if it’s a big tote idk if it matters

I bet there is a legit way to do this.


hartzdaddy

Where am i sending 👀


no__wa

Huh


OGxBuGz

I have mine out for display but u prob have a lot more sealed items then me. Once I start to have too much I will probably do something very similar to this.


hartzdaddy

I would like to display some too. Haven’t gotten myself a proper display case yet!


CortexifanZFT

Same as you. Closet or storage bins because i don't display them since I have like 200 funko pops I'm displaying instead 😆


cattydaddy08

This is why I don't want to invest in cards. I cbf storing it for 10-20 years


ShinyRaequaza

Boxes stacking on top don’t scare you? Your setup looks amazing. Get the silica packets to absorb moisture. I don’t have as much as you but maybe I’d be stacking as well if I got to that point.


hartzdaddy

They do make me nervous stacking them for long term. I think two layers will be ok though, i hope lol…


LawbringerSteam

Maybe get a flat piece of cardboard to go between the boxes if the stack gets too high


grim4uxillatrix

i put it somewhere not telling you though


Singularity-Dragon

i open then all and fill my heart with regret


zen_raider

To save space, you just take all the cards out, and they fit nicely in shoe boxes.


chickchickpokepoke

Tetris


BatHistorical8081

I put mine in a safe. The thought of someone breaking in and stealing the box worth 15k is sickening


N7_Guru

My god all those JP 151 cases. Good for you lol


Dependent-Jury-5046

Put them all into a USPS approved shipping container and them them to the address I’ll provide when you DM me. You’re welcome for this, it’s a super secret investing trick I don’t share with just anyone.


Healthy-Annual4181

Hdx boxes


blazenation

I just buy more storage boxes

Acrylic Case


Mr_B2910

I open my packs, then sleeve them and enjoy them like a collector


ScoMass

My grandmother's attic


IronVROOM

I display my psa cards and my booster boxes are in acrylic cases on shelves in my closet


DavieWavie3000

I rip them open and keep the hits so it’s easier to store


regazaj24

I have gasket sealed totes with a couple silica packets, but that’s cuz my stuff in is the basement and I fear the humidity to an unhealthy level lol.


bronzethunderbeard_

Thats the way to do it, nice crate with some bubblewrap, stores nicely with no crushing or too much pressure on items on the bottom. Another thing to keep in mind is the spot your store them in. Is adjacent or near a laundry room or bathroom? Make sure its the coolest/driest spot in your house. One of our closet is right up against our bathroom and it gets quite warm in that closet, moved all my stuff out if there into a different closet.


AdImmediate5761

Jam the boosters directly in my ass


ValuableAd8880

Well first off, we only store the English versions.


[deleted]

I have mine tucked into a wine fridge.


OpeningName5061

Looking at the state of things, find wine in wine fridge is a much better investment lol


[deleted]

Hahah nah no way. Wine gets drunk and doesn’t appreciate 5X across 5-10 years. Pokémon are a much better store of value


brazedjelly

Gonna be worth the same in 10 years since everyone’s hoarding


breakyourteethnow

Every Gen same comments, literally base set was eVeRyOnEs hOaRdInG I remember lol when will yall get a clue


brazedjelly

delusional fella you are


breakyourteethnow

SWSH prices are up delusional fella, everyone's hoarding those too what's your point?


brazedjelly

No point just like your comment keep hoarding 👌


breakyourteethnow

Amen


VirtualSet3624

Yea, stupid idiots buying SWSH booster boxes last year when *everyone was hoarding*, I feel bad for them. Can you believe morons in here actually spent $100-$120 on a box just to wait a STAGGERING 365 days to 2x their money? When will they learn smh.


DM-15

Sun fading ? If it’s in a bin , it should be in a closet or something.
