Justin,
There were quite some discussions on storing Polaroid material on APUG
recently, the consensus ssems to be that it is not worth it, especially
colour material has bad keeping properties, the weak point seems to be
the pod with the chemistry. B&W seems to keep a bit better, but that
also varies, I have used quite some outdated stuf: the 3000asa stuf
(665?) keeps not that well, the PN55 a bit better in my hands. But I
have not used it lately, so these might be off (storage in a close
plastic bag at 4oC)
Best,
Cor

I have a 4x5 back for Polaroid. Used it exactly once. I made the
fatal mistake of opening up the box, using a few sheets and then
throwing it back into the fridge. The humidity ruined the rest of them.
I am going to be visiting NYC this spring and will be making a stop
at B&H. If I buy several boxes of Type 55, how long will they keep and
where can I keep them so that they live the longest ?
I'm thinking of waiting ten years and then selling them all on Ebay
for a MASSIVE profit. Muhahahahaha
