Reed Cases

Right now I have some very old reeds 6-12 months old or maybe older (6 in all) that I am working on, not to make a new-sounding reed but playable good to fair on a rating of 1-4. Basically I thought to sand the flat side if "hard" and stuffy, and trim tip very slightly (maybe visible to .5 mm) if "soft" and "trilly" or varying pitch. They dont sound all that bad but need some sanding or clipping at this time.
I keep my very old reeds and 29 very new reeds in plastic bags in their original holders they came in. Room humidity runs around 45-55% right now.
I was considering getting some sort of a humidity type reed holder, maybe with rails that are supposed to reduce warpage. I know very little about this so haven't done anything yet. If this is a good idea or recommended storage, I was hoping for some suggestions as to brand, type, model etc, to consider. Thanks for any suggestions.
