far more important than whether you use mylar or poly is the environment you store things in.   stable temp, low humidity is generally best for most items.    indoor storage is better than the garage or shed as you won't have the large overnight swings in temp.   Basically if you stick something in a closet or a heat controlled storage unit it will be fine.   The tool shed out back or an unheated storage unit?  Not so good.

WTB Cdn sealed black boxes, sealed Cdn first party titles.    I.e. the "mattel" Cdn boxes with both french and english.   Mainly black boxes, zelda, link, and tyson, but let me know what you have.    I am interested in anything I don't already have!

Exactly. Even Mylar won't protect you from high humidity combined with temperature fluctuations.
