I was so happy with my last scanning batch that I completely forgot that I
also have slides with the same age (and some younger) faded or with moulds.
Now, I am reviewing my older slides at least twice a year. From past
experience, it seems that I will not have problems at least until they are
10 to 15 years old. But, as another filmscanner very well said, this depends
on the climatic conditions. Also on how carefully you archive them.
