Storing PCB's in Plexi/Acrylic

[opt2not]

I'm planning on sandwiching my arcade PCB's between 2 pieces of plexi/acrylic using stand-off's, so that they're nicely displayed and easier to transport in and out of a cabinet.

What's the consensus about static?  Should I be worried about build-up?  I've read different opinions about this, some say I don't need to worry if I use stand-offs, some say all I need to do is make sure there is a ground connection to the plexi/acrylic to dissipate the charge. Others say that build-up is inevitable and I shouldn't be putting PCB's between plastic.

Anti-static plexi/acrylic seems to be incredibly expensive per sheet, so I'd rather not go that route.   Anyone wanna weigh-in on this?

I would think it would be an issue especially if you are moving them around.

Does the cover need to be clear?

If not, how about some hardboard like this or this?

It comes in various finishes including smooth white and won't generate much of a static charge.

Yeah, preferably clear.

I no longer have a cabinet with a vertical monitor, only a horizontal oriented one, so I play vertical games with a supergun set-up. When I have my PCB's out, they're just sitting on my desk all exposed.  My plan is to have them in a clear semi-enclosed case that protects them from dust as well as looks nice displayed on a shelf.
