I think this is some really excellent dialog and I’d like to add one more observation here.
I suspect a good number of people are going come along and read this thread and then 3-D print a SIMM box with whatever filament they determined from this thread to be the most antistatic. But “most people” who not being very adept at understanding ESD, may treat that “magic box“ as being all they need to protect their RAM/ROM/VRAM SIMMs, and then neglect to strap their wrist to a known-good ground when adding/removing the SIMMs from the said box. Especially so when you are away from your workbench which is likely the only place you have convenient access to a solid ground.
Having a antistatic means to protect the modules while in storage is just as important as having an antistatic means of handling them.
