Many of those sticky page kind are not acid-free and lignin free. Better yet, buffered. Lignin is natural stuff in tree pulp (paper) that causes pictures to deteriorate faster than normal - as Jan pointed out they still last many years - they can cause yellowing in as little as 10 years, and some of them have sooo much acid that they cause limbs to disappear. The magnetic pages are those ones that have a clear sheet (most often not PVC free - yea another term!) that covers the pictures that you attach to the sticky gluey sheet below.
Back to PSB issue - I've found it theraputic to go through old pictures (I keep fairly current by doing them regularly) It's fun to go back to my highschool album and the albums while my husband and I were dating. Obviously the looking at the baby pictures of my kids is fun too and my oldest is only 3. It's a hobby that I consider theraputic. :) Let me know when you want to start attacking those boxes of pictures, Tabitha! hahahahaha
