Storage and care

Condition is the one attribute of a card you can still change, and the only direction it moves on its own is down. Nothing here is expensive. It is mostly a matter of putting the right things in the right order and keeping cards away from the two things that quietly ruin them, which are damp and sunlight.

These posts cover sleeves and holders and which goes inside which, what a few years in a loft or a conservatory does, and how to package a card for post so it survives a sorting machine.

No pillar guide, and none planned. This cluster is small and practical, and the storage post already does the job a pillar would do. A guide written above it would compete with it for the same question rather than support it.
