Binders for storing comics...

azrael · 01-08-2012, 09:49 AM

I have been thinking of using those plastic page holders and putting comics in them and then on a bookshelf.

Does anyone have any experience with this?

No I never have, I've always gone with bags and boards for all my comics and put them in long boxes or drawer boxes. I'd think you'd be fine putting them in the plastic page holders as long as they are acid free. Hopefully they specify on the bag, it'd suck to come back a year later and find that the cover image has been transferred to the plastic making the cover look extremely faded.

i am going to keep them in their normal bag. I want then put them in another bag so I can keep them in a binder on a book sehlf. wife is getting tired of seeing my comic boxes in the bed room

Ah that makes sense. Yeah then as long as its in another bag I'd think you shouldn't have problem slipping them into a clear 3 hole punched sheet in a binder.

Awesome, I've had the same exact idea for years, glad I'm not the only one. My problem is the thousands of comics, currently sitting in stacks of boxes, that need a few dozen binders and a small fortune in slipcase sleeves. But yeah, I plan to basically do the exact same thing when I can.

I got the idea a few years ago when I looked around my apartment and realized that my awesome comic collection is kind of depressing to look at when on the surface it's just 20-something long boxes with labels on them...

It's even more depressing when I factor in what all those binders, sleeves, bookshelves, and comics I missed from late 2010-Present are gonna cost me....
