Keeping polished brass shiney

So Ive got all this brass that the kids and I have picked up at the range. Sorted to Cal and Manufacture ready to polish count and put to auction. My question is if I polish it will it stay shiney? Or will it tarnish and turn dull. Should I store it in something special--plastic bags or what. It will give me something to do in the winter time and still be in the Reloadn Room.

  In plastic bags it will stay shiney a long long time.

  I recently found Reynolds was selling a hand held Vacuum pump and special ziplock type bags to use it on. Bags come in quart and gallon size. The pump was about 9 bucks at the local grocer. This thing will suck the air out of a bag of brass so hard you'll think it was freeze dried! As long as I do not handle them roughly bags of brass do not leak and never tarnish. Just don't overfill the bags.[8D]
