Opinions of Corstat or any other ESD foam pcb boxes

[NOAH]

I’ve been thinking this over for more than 12 years now and still haven’t decided on what storage method to use for my pcb’s. I’ve considered the following:

1) Carbon-coated corrugated boxes with anti-static foam
2) Standard corrugated boxes w/ anti-static foam
3) Standard corrugated boxes w/ any foam and anti-static bag

One concern I had about storing pcb’s directly in the foam was the possibility of the foam breaking down over time and possible crumbs forming. Has anyone here used anti-static foam for decades who can attest to the integrity/durability of the material over time?

Also, is carbon-coated corrugated overkill for pcb protection at home? In terms of cost difference for my collection, I have about 75 pcb’s.

I appreciate any thoughts, experience, advice or suggestions. Thanks, guys.

Corstat boxes are probably overkill.
They are nice though & you could even label the side.
To be honest most of my stuff was extremely unloved & still works thanks to my repairs.
So I'd say anything is better than nothing, even white bubble wrap will protect temporarily.
Pink is better & a box is even better.
Most damage happens during transport or handling.
Ground yourself out every time before touching a pcb, especially if you have carpet.
