Hello I am considering buying a phoenix safe for my more valuable cgc graded books. I have heard the horror stories of staples rusting in certain safes. The phoenix safe has come up a few times on the cgc boards. I was wondering if anyone has one for their collection? If so can you tell me how you like it and if it is ok for cgc comic storage? Thank you very much (I am looking at the 507 model)

thanks Good to know

thanks

I tried a dehumidifier and it worked great bring down the humidity but it caused the room temperature to rise too high. My comics are in a very small closet. According to my research these electric dry cabinets are heatless and control humidity with only 2 % fuculation. They are very small so only my most valuable comics would go in dry cabinet. I could always open to door on occasion to help with off gassing. If humidity is set at 40 % year round staples would not rust For security it is a stainless steel cabinet with lock. Not as secure as a safe but there is no need to worry about humidity, No buckets to empty. Much safer than a cardboard box. I found a lot of people using them for stamps and old books even baseball cards. i do understand the fear of the unknown with this. I agree with you there. Trying to find out if anyone as used them successfully for comics. In my case the temperature of my comic room gets to hot if I use a dehumidifier.

hello, I was think of purchasing an electric dry cabinet to store my cgc comics. Because you can control the humidity level I thought it may be an ideal storage solution for my comics. However, these cabinets are airtight and I have heard you should not store comics in an air tight container do to off gassing. These cabinets do control humidity so I wondering if they would be ok for comics. Does anyone use or have experience with storing comics in an electric dry cabinet like Forspark?
