Piers and Moose,
Thank you both for your replies, you both make some very good points! I
guess mine would fall under the seldom used category( maybe a couple times a
year). Since I'll store them in a box for protection, punctures and creases
aren't to big a worry, my main concern is them becoming stiff and fragile
from non use.
Thanks again,
Darin
