[QUOTE="subzero, post: 453765, member: 9185"] I still have a Trotec dehumidifier unit from when I used to collect & store comics a while back, which could be useful for the paranoid collector lol, it removes excess moisture out of the air and collects the water in a tank. Moisture is actually your worst enemy on colder days, as the colder the air is the less ability it has to contain the water in it, so it condenses out of the air and into all the materials in the room, your collectables literally soak up the moisture, then when you get a hot dry day it releases back out of the materials, that constant change over time is what adds to the degradation, along with UV and heat changes. But using a unit to stabilise the moisture level would reduce the huge 'ups & downs' that damage collectibles and give them more life hopefully. [/QUOTE]
