Yes, I now removed my photos from the garage to a more photofriendly area in the house. Especially some black and white photos were in bad condition... Under plastic you mean in a photoalbum with those plastic covers?

Yep, or any system that A. protects the surface from scratching...and B. reduces the exposure to oxygen. O2 is not your pictures friend.
Even grouped with interleaved soft paper in a seal-able plastic envelope is better than nothing. There is paper designed for this purpose that won't stick to the print side of photos.
Of course, the act of putting prints into holders can itself scratch them, so be careful. Some of the defects I see on yours are likely "enlarger dust", or dust that was on the print paper or negative or tranparancy when it was enlarged and printed. Take care of your negatives and transparencies as well. Negatives especially shift color (to blue) with age and oxygen exposure.
