How do you store your CGC comics?

[dicjones]

I just joined CGC as a premium member. I am waiting on my welcome package and free coupons for 3 free gradings. Currently my comics are bagged and boarded as typical comics are and stored in a long box. I was wondering what everyone did with their comics AFTER they have been encased by CGC.

I store them in a CGC box. Most comic retailers carry 'em.

 

Oh yeah, welcome to the boards!

I use them as coasters. Great topics of conversation when you have guests.

Welcome to the board.

I put them in a giant wood and glass case I built many years ago for my vintage Star Wars collectibles. Stacked, it would probably hold 600 slabs. As it stands I own 15 slabs so it's pretty bare.

What did you do with the SW stuff? I wish I still had mine.

I was thinking about this yesterday. I too am a man of few slabs (Hockey has 14 more than I do), and I was wondering this: Ikea has some wooden magazine files, balsa I think, for about five bucks a pop. Seems like they'd be decent protection, unless balsa is somehow bad for comics. Anyone know if it is? And do slabs breathe?

I crack the books out of the slab and stick 'em in a mylar.

I've heard in various threads that it's better to store them flat (due to pressure on the inner well?)

 

Either way, store 'em in a CGC box inside a cupboard in a cool and regulated environment.

I keep them in the deep end.

ebay....about 4-5 years ago. At the time I wasn't collecting comics and had stopped buying vintage toys so I thought I was done and had finally "grown up". Much to my wife's dismay I seem to have found the inner kid in me once again.

 

The biggest regret was I had a sealed Ewok Village. And the box was essentially "case fresh". Would've made a nice AFA candidate.

I store mine in a chest buried out in the back yard....

All my X-men comics are on Asteroid M, vaccum protection baby.

Stacked in a filing cabinet.

Wow. A post disappeared.

 

Bummer.

I use them as dinner place-mats (thumbs u

Welcome to the boards! I am pretty new here myself, got my package just a couple of weeks ago. I sent in 15 comics without yet using my coupon. I bought some CGC boxes and plastics from https://www.hotflips.com after looking on Ebay for supplies. The local stores in my area don’t deal in CGC books so I had to look elsewhere. One thing to know is after I got my invoice from them, shipping was later added on. Just keep that in mind, it was still cheaper that any of the ebay stores. Again welcome and enjoy, joining has already been fun for you and sparked a new phase in my comic collecting.

Welcome to the boards...I store mine in CGC short boxes that I got from Hotflips.com. They work great...I have about 40 slabs at this point...but I've been looking for a good, safe way to display them...UF rays and fading is a worry for me...

This is how I store my CGC books:

 

 

This is an old photo and I don't think it's working out since they seem to be mating and multiplying like rabbits.
