Acyclic was past what I was thinking,  just along the lines of the standard clear plastic box protectors. It's not about displaying it, its about keeping an uncommon item from getting accidentally destroyed by accidents, cats, kids etc. We actually had a roof leak about 2 months ago right on my shelf of turbo and ps1 games. And while some of those things are gonna happen regardless it doesn't mean I can't take precautions like a condom :).  I understand in the age of what has been labeled "shelf collector" that coming in here with a low post count and seemingly wanting to slab my stuff isn't going to be taken well. My first posts were actually on repairing a tg16 and my upcoming posts on repairing a turboexpress. I want the items we enjoy to be around longer so that were not stuck with emulation and photos

I hear you—you just were an easy target :)

Ziploc sells a huge bag that is rugged, waterproof, and can easily hold a DUO box. I have a bunch of boxes in these friggin' huge Ziploc bags. Smaller boxes are in plastic tubs (clear 40-60 gallon clear).

The simplest solutions are the most durable and cost-effective. I throw a whole bunch of dessicants (those packets that absorb humidity) in everything because NJ is often humid.

I rotate the stuff I have on "display" (a little corner desk + wall) every few weeks. It's fun to see new things out.

The problem with a lot of light duty solutions is they can be made of materials which will damage paper/cardboard.

Your best bet would be to find a large roll of clear plastic, which doesn't contain anything harmful, just wrap your boxes in that and find a place to put them where sunlight won't touch them.
