    Default Collection preservation

    Hey guys,

    Its been a while since i've posted on DP and merry xmas to all! My question is more of a preservation question rather than a technical one.

    The problem i'm having is i haven't got enough cupboards to store all my games so most of them are on open shelves making the manuals and covers prone to brittleness and in some cases foxing/mold (i been trying to come up with solutions to this since my ealier thread on this). Anyways, i've recently been looking at resealing my entire games collection using a resealable seal DVD/CD sleeve or similar (the ones that flap open not heat sealed) and was wondering if anyone knows how well this would preserve the collection in hot and humid countries such as mine in Singapore. I'm mainly in the UK now as some of you might know so i don't see my collection for a good 9-10 months a year.

    Cheers!

    Dude if you've got stuff in your house going moldy I'd be more worried about general health and living conditions than keeping Intellivision manuals in pristine shape.

    Dehumidifier? Heating? AC? Something?
