If you were just to keep your discs in a normal enviroment disc rot should not be a problem at all.


I have CD's I've had since the late 80's, which spent the better part of the 90's in giant CD wallets/books, and I've never had a single one with disc rot. Of course, they are stored indoors. In fact, the only time I've ever even seen disc rot was with a game I bought at Gamestop last year (Which I promptly returned)

Gamestop has been going downhill for years now. The times it was the hottest was during the PlayStation 2 era of gaming, also known as the the 6th console generation in which at that time they sold generation 5 games a well from 2000 till I think 2007

Negative.  I used to, I also used to keep my audio cds in one.  After a while I noticed my audio cds had wear on the backs and some where the pages had rubbed together had taken the paint/label right off.  After inspecting my game discs they too had noticeable wear on the backside but luckily I didn't use that wallet as much as I did my audio cds.  So I managed to get by with only having to replace a few game discs rather than half of my 400ct wallet of audio cds. 

I swore off of them at that point and encourage others to do the same.
