Found some NOS decals for sharkey's shootout while clearing out some old parts. Would they be any good after 20+ years? I'm guessing the sticky stuff on the back dries out after a while.

Flat?
In a temperature controlled environment?
Away from direct sunlight?
I would think the manufacturer of the vinyl material would have specified HOW to store it correctly and also its expected shelf life.

I’ve used some NOS decals from ‘88 and they’re holding up 3 years later with constant commercial location play

Flat is good out from sun light so I think your good not sure about temp controlled I am sure it would be better if it was
