How bad is it to store PCBs in bubble wrap?

[Raven]

I just read that storing PCBs in bubble wrap is considered a bad idea. Is the danger of static discharge very high? I have been storing my PCBs wrapped in clear bubble wrap inside cardboard boxes. I am always very careful to touch metal before I handle them. Have I been putting my games at risk?

EDIT: I guess it can't be too bad. Bob has always sent PCBs wrapped in clear bubble wrap and he has been in the business for a long time. Still, I'll feel better once they are all in anti-static bags.

I wrap most of mine in old carpet scraps and then stack them in the attic next to the water heater.

As somebody else already mentioned before, most of the old TTL boards that survived 20+ years under questionable circumstances will be fine.

Having said that, zapping / killing an FPGA is relatively easy to do...
