Storing concert tickets, other paper goods

[jay ratkowski]

I've got a bunch of stuff like concert tickets, autographs, backstage passes, newspaper clippings, etc that I don't want to lose. However, storing such items for the long haul is tough. Especially the concert tickets, which are printed on thermal printers (heat sensitive, can't laminate) and don't use acid-free papers (they fade/yellow over time). I've tried various cold/pressure laminates out there, but the quality on all of them just sucks.

So I need an air tight way to store this stuff, while still being able to display it. I'm going to ask a few friends who do scrapbooking, but I figured with all the music nuts here, there might be someone in the same situation as myself who has a solution.

I'm all ears.

How about clear contact paper?

OR

get some of those baseball card holders with the thick plastic sleeves or the two pieces of glass that screw together to be airtight.

Ya know, all I do is stash em in the respective band's CD cover and they are stored in a cool, dry place, no discoloration to date, oldest is 11 years old now.
My Cd's stay in my house, if I want to take a cd with, it goes in to my MP3 player, or I make a backup.

My friend does that and it seems to work well. I was hoping to keep all my (non-cd/album) music related stuff more together though.
