Adam,

I think Ted's suggestion is a good one, and there are reasonably  
inexpensive acid-free boxes available, at some large art supply  
stores, and online.  I think Jim just posted a couple of links to a  
source.

My own experience with my old "real" prints, now about 30-35 years  
old, has been that they hold up very well, if stored carefully.   I  
just moved and unpacked a lot of stuff that's been stored for nearly  
20 years, and I was amazed at how the prints held up, and I can't say  
I was all that careful with them when I originally stored them.  In  
fact, some of them had been stored very carelessly, and they still  
look very, very good.
