Guy at the shop told me to ditch the poly bags for backing boards

Back in 2017 I had this older collector at Heroes Aren't Hard To Find in Charlotte tell me poly bags trap moisture and ruin comics over time. I ignored him for about 3 years until I pulled out some early 2000s issues and saw foxing spots on 6 of them. Switched everything over to backing boards and now I check them twice a year. Anybody else had long term storage issues with just bags?

Yeah backing boards are the way to go. I do the same thing twice a year.

Oh really? Do you pull the boards before each treatment or leave them on over winter? I always wondered if leaving them on too long traps moisture.
