Question
How do I keep somethings to last forever?  Is there something that apply to all?


Answer
Thats a hard question. There are a few things that apply to all types of collectibles.
1. Keeping them dry: Some people keep things in sealed containers with moisture absorbers.
2. Keeping them out of the sun and heat: Even non-direct sunlight will fade packaging and make plastic go yellow.

I used to keep all my stuff in a dark storage shed, in sealed boxes, and with a moisture absorber bottle (you can get these at any grocery store).
