Sports card storage recommendations

Anybody have any recommendations on bulk storage? I am moving my collection and worried about possible humidity damage since it will be in the laundry room. Any thoughts?

Mines in my laundry room (and others

I haven't had any issues, but I do run a dehumidifier 24-7-365 to keep the basement dryer than the rest of the house.

Mine are essentially on pallets, and stacked (3200 ct / 5000 ct boxes). My holders are custom made so that they are off the concrete floor, but also allow me to move them around as needed.

You could always run a dehumidifier in that room

As was mentioned, dehumidifier is important. Another thing to consider is desiccant silica packs. Store them with your cards and they will absorb moisture, as will the cardboard boxes they are in.
