Salt spray eats everything. Steel mill and power plant emissions eat almost everything. The tubes get hot in operation, so any surface moisture is driven off immediately. As long as the humid atmosphere is not corrosive to the tube pins, you should not have problems with storage.If you have NOS tubes in valuable original boxes, though, the cardboard may deteriorate from excessive humidity in storage. They might even get moldy, so a dry-box would be the only way to keep them. A freezer would prevent deterioration as long as they were cold, but the condensation when you warm them up might be bad.
