FWIW I store art in mylar sleeves with full backer board (beware substandard backer boards), wrapped in polyethylene bags (to keep critters out) and with microchamber paper to ameliorate acid.  These I store in 24x18 Itoya refillable binders, which makes it possible to move things around without taking art out of sleeves.  I store the binders flat.  The binders come with 10 sleeves, if I store two mylar sleeves in each one, that's 20 pieces per binder, about as much as I can lift.   24x18 mylar sleeves do not fit in the binder sleeves, unfortunately.

People have mentioned wrapping art in cardboard or garbage bags.  I'd worry about chemicals leaching out of those and into the art, it doesn't sound advisable.

So i recently moved my modest collection into an itoya. Was i wrong in thinking this alone was sufficient to keep? These comments make me feel like that alone is not adequate
