I actually think the Trouts would be ok.
I can't articulate it well, but there is a definite difference in the feel and gloss of the late-90s and early 00s cards that ended by about 2004 or 2005.
Those later cards and onward seem smoother? Less prone to friction or 'stickiness" even close to the date of issue - I recall opening packs from 2001, 2003, etc. where going through the cards was difficult as they clung to each other a bit when new.
