| | | Refrigerate Your Cards?
I remember reading posts of people saying that they refrigerate their cards in the summer? Is that true or were people just making a funny? It is hot in my bedroom and some cards are quite sticky. Can cards get damaged by being too cold? |

I guess I should have used the search function first and I would have found this thread. Seems like nobody thought it was a good idea and I would guess that nobody has tried it. |

I have all my kems, copag, NTP's in the fridge right now. It may be a little too paranoid but I have the space for it in my fridge. I would say it helps. I find that every time it's game time, the cards feel fresh and that the cards aren't warped.
BTW the cards are next to the beer so both are easy to find.

If that is true that is definitely one of the nuttiest (an awesome) things I have heard of

Needing to refrigerate plastic cards is so gay. Not that theres anything wrong with that. While few..I love my gay friends....but even my gay friends would say this is gay.

J | It gets pretty warm in my poker room. I don't have the air conditioning on all day only when I am home. I would say it raises about 10 degrees above the outside temperature. So for instance, today in my area of socal it was about 90 degrees, I just got home and it was pretty hot and humid when I got in, so It's about 100 in my poker room. I've had Pre-uspc cards warp like crazy, when left out. So to prevent that I now just leave it in the fridge, and you know what It helps. PLUS like I said I have the room for it, no big deal.

I'm living right underneath the roof, so the sun burns the whole day and it gets really really hot in there.
I didn't put my stuff in the fridge, but I packed all my chips and acetat cards in boxes and store them in the basement until it gets a bit colder.
warping suxs.
