That's probably out of my price range. But, I would like to take a look. What should I google to find one of these sites?

Most of mine live in boxes in my cupboard, and I get them out periodically to (drool over them and) check they are all right. Actually, I have discovered that a good place (so far) to keep them has been in Integrity Jem doll boxes, which fits two adult MOC ponies quite nicely and which also allows stacking and space to prevent too much pressure on the bubbles. I don't have space to display mine in cabinets, but I am a bit paranoid about exposure to the light :/ I also have bubblewrap against the back wall of the cupboard, as I am also a bit paranoid about exposure to cold (it's an outside wall and another cupboard nearby has once succumbed to mould). The mould situation was a perfect storm combination of the cupboard being too full of books and a leaking gutter that somehow came through a crack into the room, and it has since been fixed, but you know, can't be too careful...Using the Jem boxes also allows air to circulate and I don't keep the doors of my cupboards fully closed very often. So far, no MOC I have has deteriorated in my care (and some of them I have had almost 20 years) but I also live in quite a cool climate, which may be the greater reason for that. In any case, displaying out may be a bad thing for old glue, especially if you live in a warmer climate. If you have a confined case and the air inside it is hot and expands, the bubble may well crack, it might also affect the glue and various other issues can arise other than fading. I suspect that confinement in a display case may be the bigger part of the issue unless that case is well ventilated, because I have two MOC who are not in the cupboard and which are hanging on my wall. They are pretty much perfect in condition and the colours have not faded, bubble has not cracked etc from being there about two years...
