Default Pins and long term fabric storage- Question

Hi Ladies and gents. We've recently moved house and I'm putting together my sewing room. I have a nice bookcase with glass doors (I'm getting the UV window film for those!) that I'm using to store my fabric. I started rolling my fabric onto those comic book boards and absolutely love how it looks, like my own little quilt store in my sewing room. I do have a question though. I started pinning the fabric to the board, so it wouldn't unravel, and then I got paranoia thinking the pins would rust and ruin every piece of fabric I have, so I took them out. I live in the Houston area, so we do get some nice humidity here. I've checked other threads that were a bit conflicting. Use stainless steel, but not all stainless steel, or brass, but I haven't seen a brass straight pin, or even using enamelled pins (like the ones they use for displaying insects.) Any suggestions fellow quilters?
