Nice to meet you.

I am rather new to playing card collecting and have about 80 decks or so. Initially, I wanted my first post to be a collection post, but I just haven't gotten round to doing so. Because life, and procrastination. Well, I will get around to that soon, though I have nothing rare or whatnot. My passion lies in design in general, and the endless variety and creativity to be found in a simple 2.5"x3.5" space is profoundly intriguing. I also like collecting things that come in a series or set. ( $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$)

I'm from hot and humid Singapore, so any tips on proper card storage?

Thanks for having me, I look forward to my time here

Cheers,
Gerald

Hello Gerald, welcome to UC

I live in Canada, so not exactly hot, but we do get humid sometimes here on the coast. I keep my cards low to the floor since the temperature remains most constant there. Temperature extremes and changes do the most damage. Silica packs spread throughout the drawers I store them in seem to work well. Also store them mostly flat rather than on their sides or ends, so gravity works against warping. Hope that's helpful.

Volantangel collects cards and is from Singapore, I'm sure he's got strategies, give him a shout! memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=720
