I just bought 25 sheets of 16x20 fiber based photographic paper by ilford for 25 bucks. It's not exposed but it is 5- 10 years old. How bad did I goof?

I use 20+ years old ilford FB paper without any problems.

la-dee-da, look at the richfag here
But seriously, I wouldn't start with such an expensive variety, get a box of 25 multigrade normal paper.
Also, do you know for certain it's not been exposed? I'd have not bought that desu.
If the paper is expired, it will be yellowing around the edges, and the prints will be foggy, having not very white highlights and lower contrast.
However, if it's actually 5-10
Just develop a damn test strip to see if it fogs up, have all of you people never made a print before or something?

if its been cool stored you are OK if it has been stored in a hot place it is worthless.
