MC phono cartridge lifespan (when not using)


I have bought a new Benz Wood SL and a few weeks after I have received a new Benz Glider as a gift. I have the Benz Wood mounted on my Ittok and really like the sound....I’d like to know if it is wise the keep a Glider as a spare/replacement when the Wood is worn out....That could be in 5 years or more.....so my question is really....will the Glider sound as it should in 5-10 years or will some parts deteriorate even when not using.... Suspension parts or oxidize coils or any other parts....Or should I simply sell it and buy something else when needed.....I know the Wood sound a bit better but I could live with the Glider as I had one before and loved it....

Put it in a jar with a screw cap lid and keep in a cool, dark place - like vitamins!
