Turbografx card plastic sleeve issue

Hi all,
Not sure if anyone else has had this problem. Seems to me that the transparent soft plastic of the HuCard protective sleeves degrades fairly quickly. Had a bunch of loose cards in sleeves, that when I checked them recently had stuck to the sleeves. I removed them, but they all had unremoveable stains from the sticky plastic.
Something similar actually happened to our Amiga500 from its keyboard sleeve / protector. Ended up with yellow streaks on that system, so it looks like it's painted with a tiger skin.

How did you store them mate? Was it it in a dry free from moisture area?

Environment could be a factor, as I live close to the sea. And I've had water damage before. But I also remember the card sleeves being yellow and quite sticky when I got them. I then thoroughly cleaned them. But they must've got worse over time.
