  ----  I haven't experienced that.  There have been lots of reports of
  yellowing in reaction to certain chemical agents in packaging and
  tape, etc, and often edge yellowing is reportedly due to prints being
  stacked in a drawer or box, so only the edges are exposed
  to...whatever. --------

  This yellowish hue happen to prints I left on my table mixed together with magasines, and it takes only few weeks. I didn't notice it for prints kept in their original box. It is a glass table and I am not smoking. But some other factors might play, the room is exposed south and recieve sun all day, it is often wide open and is just a hundred meters from the sea, so the air is probably more salted with iodine than average.
  Of course warm papers like Museo don't show.
