[Want to Buy] Turtle Binder and Cards

Canadian Turtle · 06-02-2008, 05:10 PM

yeah, that seems the problem. I want to display the comics. Some of which I would like to stand face out so you can see the covers. What is the best way to do this?

The card list is as follows for the original 88 card set with the yellow borders. Thanks all, I know there's a lot but what ever I can find is cool. I'll keep checking on ebay as well!!

There is no good storage method that involves displaying comics. If you want to display comics, buy them in cheap lots with no expectations of maintaining condition.

What happens to them if they are displayed? Bending/discoloration?

Regular exposure to light is going to cause fading and yes, there would be a higher likelihood of bending.

I've got a Turtle binder for trading cards, but it's really just a normal binder that I drew the Turtles on way back when. It's still kind of cool. Right now it's empty.
I used to have comics on display when I was a teen. But I only kept them up for a short while and then rotated them. I also had action figures on display (MOC), and the ones I had up the longest are the same ones that have yellowed plastic and fading today.

So is the exposure to sun light? Or to any house hold bulbs, because this major sucks. I want to display all of the collection including some of the original comics and MOC figures. Has anyone heard of cases or glass that protects against light damage?

I think it's sunlight mainly, which is what damaged my figures. However, to keep in the best shape, probably limit exposure to any light and pack the stuff away. But then how will you enjoy it?
