Acids in surrounding items or the card itself can have a bad affect but a lot of the time its the glues leaching out of the joins. Mine are in gladwrap packed 6x in Autoart outer boxes and seem fine.

If it's the white boxes, I know of nothing that can be done. I've seen boxes stored away wrapped and out of any light still discolour.

If you can get hold of any of those little anti-moisture silicon things they have in the pill bottles, throw one of them in each box. Your local chemist might give/sell you a few. "Do Not Eat" lol

I store my cars & display my boxes lol :P sorry could not resits.

White paper/carboard will always discolour over the years, one can try slow it up, but in the end it will discoulor, some faster than others, as had 3 xy boxes & had 3 different coloured white boxes after 6 years, all stored in a big packing box.

Wazza002 mentioned before that you wrap them in the blue wraping paper that Wedding dresses are wrapped in for the same reason.

c'mon guys back to the subject,BLUE tissue paper is the way to go I have a full 1:64 collection all still crisp white boxes,I dont why but as mentioned in an earlier thread with the wedding dress. Something to do with the the light spectrum and filtering out ultra violet light.

The Bride sees three important things at the church as she walks in:
1. The aisle.

2.The alter.

3.You(the Groom)

These 3 items sum up the brides thoughts to the Groom. "I'll alter you"
