About 20 years ago, I sold this very book to a customer of mine, but this weekend, I got it back.

 

Maybe it will  come back to me someday Rob!

so then mylar with acid free boards should preserve for personal use as good as or better than say, a CGC slab?  Slabbing is more for getting a universal grade and selling/trading?

I pulled my short box out of the closet after sitting for around 20 years, the books are pretty much all bagged and boarded or in mylars.  To keep them preserved properly, i should rebag and board these right?  What is a good rule of thumb on how often this should be done?

Howdy David! Welcome to the boards  

Sticker Shock for Sure  especially I hear on Pre-Code stuff  Take your time to learn to make an informed decision.....

Hopefully you can find some fellow Baltimore Comic-Con threads in the "events section" to help prepare  

 

There are people in the golden age forum to help with ideas too  

Hey All~

I’m David from MD and was last collecting in the 90’s. I kept a box of precode horror since then and pulled it out of storage last month...and wouldn’t you know I’m feeling that bug again. I’m going to ease back in by looking to see what i have might be worth grading and going to Baltimore Comicon in a couple weeks(I will get sticker shock I’m sure).  Looking forward to sharing the hobby with everyone and getting up to speed!
