The key there is to not leave them in the same foam for 15+ years. ;)

Sometimes you can still find a good deal on smaller sections. I found a
supplier who had 12 sections of good quality conductive foam ~3.5"x4.75"
for $1.00 each a few years ago and I promptly bought out his stock. I
figure that will last me a long time since these days I mainly store ICs
in tubes and then put those inside foil/mylar antistatic bags. I've just
run across too many ruined NOS ICs with corroded pins from the
conductive foam breaking down. Does anyone have a good place to buy the
conductive black foam for
sticking IC into ? The prices I am getting off google are nuts.
Mouser carries it in big 3'x3' (or thereabouts) sheets.
It's not cheap. (anywhere)
