I store most of my tubes in metal ammo boxes, with plenty of bubble wrap.

IN-18's have the softest pins in my collection

They sometimes came like that when sold years ago here where I live as they 
were just delivered in sealed plastic bags with no extra protection on the 
pins and no box. Other manufacturers just stuck a piece of styrofoam on the 
pins which fell off during shipping as they weren’t secured properly.

At least the pins looks free from rust.
