How do you store your CGC comics?

[redneckley]

Wow, I am going to push my two boxes together and hope they multiply too!!

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 got an Ikea down the street... got a link?

I store them in Magazine sized comic boxes.. work perfectly and not as expensive and the CGC boxes.

 

My top 8 slabs I have displayed on a shelf.

Oakman you really want to sell me that Batman #227

They're about 20 high each stack at the moment. I'm completely out of comic room until we move to a bigger place which sucks. I'm converting one of the outhouses though so I'll be able to box them all and move them when it's done.

They make great TV dinner trays while watching Wheel Of Fortune.

 

But most of mine are stored in cardboard boxes made for them.

Along this line, I store my slabs in Banker's Boxes as I have a ton of them-I have used them to pack books, not comic books, when I have moved. Approximately 27 slabs fit in each box. If you are storing "Giant" issues, for example, fewer slabs will fit. There is perhaps a 1/2" to 1" space left between the top of the slab and the box but, to date, no slabs have shifted in any of the boxes. Lastly, I imagine these boxes are quite a bit cheaper than CGC boxes.

My CGC ones are currently in a glass case and the rest are on a box in my walk in closet.

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome and for all of the great ideas on storing CGC graded comics. I was thinking of using them as coasters myself...but alas, I sold all my furniture to buy comics...I guess they will just have to go in a box. Thanks again.

[slym2none]

Mine are in a dresser-drawer.

I have mine in the CGC short boxes as well. Unless you have the room or shelf space otherwise, the boxes make the most sense. Although if you have a lot of slabs, they take up a lot of room.

Mine are in an alternate dimension storage facility, which I can access with a snap of my fingers and the utterance of a coded key word.

Hopefully not the negative zone, as I hear Annihilus is fond of comics.
