Tube Shelf Life


I have purchased several NIB Electroharmonix tubes. These are the new variety and not NOS. Does anyone know what the anticipated shelf life is on these newer tubes or any reason to believe that they will degass or otherwise degrade faster than NOS from 20 or more years ago?

What can go wrong with something sealed in a glass tube?
The pins may corrode over enough decades but that is easy to fix.
For cool tube reading, try www.sonicfrontiers.com and be ready to read loads on the history of tubes.
