Does oxygen have an effect on Pokemon cards?

Oxygen's definitely a factor if you're talking long-term storage and value. I've seen my older cards get yellow edges from just sitting in a box. Putting them in sleeves and keeping them away from direct air contact helps a ton.

Absolutely, oxygen and air exposure in general can be a real villain for your Pokemon cards! Just like any collectible item, prolonged exposure to air can lead to oxidation and fading of colors. This can make your shiny Charizard look less fiery and more like a damp Squirtle. To keep your cards in tip-top shape, consider storing them in protective sleeves or airtight containers. It's like putting them in a Pokeball away from the harsh environment!
