Good question Tom.....I myself will put my set into airtights....easier to store, in the trays I store them in, (2 x 2" squares, that hold 35 ss)...the new cases are larger and I feel, way to bulky to even store dup ss now...but that's only the one's I keep for my collection. My dups will have to be stored in a shoe box, ?, until I can get a white case that they can be stored on that holds 50....but everyone has an opinion, and maybe someone else will answer your question..just be sure to enjoy the collecting....Christine F.
