As I was looking through my safe trying to locate my passport, I came across my bag of 30ish new letterpress plates from SC, imagine 2014-2016ish I forgot about.
I remember now putting them in there now after I had started the Studio Calico letterpress course online where she said for optimal storage and longevity, store your plates out of direct sunlight and with controlled humidity. It’s been 10 years but I feel like she said once you’ve used them (if you store them well) they can last over a year but these have never been opened so unsure if the same would apply. There’s zero yellowing and they have the same feel - do y’all think they are bad now?
l wouldn’t want to even start adding up their value if so 🤦🏼♀️
Thanks in advance!

Whether you want to keep them or try to sell them I think you're going to need to try at least one of them. What is there to lose? Unless you don't have the tools you need to use them, in which case I would definitely just get rid of them and cut your losses.
