Archiving completed sets: long‑term storage made simple

Completing a set is satisfying — now keep it that way. The goal is stable, low‑risk storage with easy retrieval.

Environment and shelving

Store in a cool, dry room out of sunlight. Use sturdy shelving with bookends so binders remain upright and supported.

Zip and label

Zip binders keep dust out; label the spine with the set code and year. We have had strong results with Vault X zip binders (not a paid advert).

Catalogue

Maintain a simple spreadsheet or app list with condition notes and acquisition dates. It helps with insurance and future trades.
