Displaying Megos - How does light affect Megos?

[Tom L]

I am way late to this great thread, but I have another question. What is considered a safe relative humidity range (in %) for storing collectibles?

Can a higher humidity, but low temperature do damage? My basement is usually 73 degrees with 65% humidity without the aid of air conditioners or dehumidifiers.

I'm not sure of a "safe" level, but the dryer the better. The temperature is OK.
My basement stays mid upper 60's and three dehumidifers going year round.

I've got a big fan in the basement that keeps the air moving constantly and circulating in the basement and it stays bone dry.

If I didn't do all that I would have sweaty walls because the humidity can be so bad. It took me a full year or more to get my humidty level under control during all the seasons so that I can have stuff in the basement, 6 years later, I havn't had a problem since, knock on wood!
