Like you said, the best way is to not handle them to keep them in great shape. A Cool clean environment to keep chrome and other cards from sticking together the longer they sit in the box/case. I would be interested in more comments from others on this.

Understatement: It's hard not to open boxes. I think Blowout and the card companies frown upon it
I have packs from the 60's and 70's. Boxes and cases of 2003/4 basketball, 2005/6 hockey including the cup and other misc pickups, UFC First Round, 2001 Upper Deck Golf and SP Authentic Golf, etc...

I store these the same way. Usually take the boxes or cases and wrap them in a labeled plastic bag the put them in a big tupperware in a climate controlled area of the house, not the attic.
