Air kills cartridges?


Do vintage cartridges deteriorate in performance by virtue of being exposed to air? I have heard that the only way to preserve their performance is to pack them in some chemical solution. Any comment would be appreciated.

Felt like I walked into the wrong classroom...I have had a Genesis 2000 for maybe 10+ years with very low hours and just recently put it back on to play. So the question I started out some weeks back was "should I keep using the Genesis (but getting a SUP or headamp) or simply move to HOMC?" Genesis sounds great, BTW.
