For the past year I have been storing my playing cards in a dark, dry, drawer. Is there any better way how I could / should store them.

I have mine set up on this:http://www.target.com/p/STORAGE-MEDIA-STORAGE-TOWER/-/A-13574909

I Highly recommend it. It looks nice and fits a lot of decks!

UC has a thread about the exact same thing, take a look, maybe the posts there can help you out. Their talking about how humidity can effect cards.

Here is how I display mine. If you have not seen on the Aether Facebook page already.

Where can I buy that?

Those frames are called shadow frames, frames with depth. I buy them at a craft store, then add the individual shelves with trim that is bought at a hardware store. All in all they cost approximately $30 to make.

I've already said how much I like your display on Facebook, Curt. Imagine a whole wall filled with those shelves!

I store mine in a bookshelf I modified. When I get around to editing my long-as-sin video for my updated collection you'll see it.

No problem! Enjoy!

I am looking forward to seeing your set up alex, the shelves you were talking about sounded pretty interesting. And yes, that is my goal to have the frames span across my wall, would look pretty nice.

This is what I posted above.

so i have a question. right now i have a plasitic cabinet with drawers i have the cards i use in and a cardboard box for the ones i am not opening. on a scale from 1-10 (1 really bad way 10 really good way) where would you rate this?

Curt · « **Reply #15 on:** October 04, 2011, 01:12:39 PM »

I am not going to rate it on a scale from 1-10 but I will tell you what I think. It's honestly not going to matter if you have decks inside a wooden or plastic drawer, or in a cardboard box. As long as where you are storing the decks is does not have a separate range of humidity from the rest of your house, it is not going to matter whether they are touching plastic, wood or cardboard. Change in humidity is the only thing that is going to warp decks, so just keep them in a neutral environment.

I have mine if frames simply because I like how it displays them, not because it has some ability to make keep them in pristine condition, although since they are in view at all times it makes it easier to remove dust and such. But I don't allows sun to shine through onto them in the morning, might be a bit overprotective but what ever.
