Comic cons & raw comics

[synch]

So how do you guys transport raw comics at conventions ?.. I have one coming up & always find this to be a pain! Specially if its a comic that I think maybe a high grade & I want to take it to get graded ...

Get 3 or 4 Priority mail boxes and put them together.

Cut the top flaps off.

Put them into a backpack so they can be carried upright.

 

As you buy books just put them into the Priority boxes. It takes very good care of them and is convenient to carry around.

I'll also add that you need to bring several comic top loadersl.

Use those for "special" books for extra protection.

I use a laptop bag to carry comics to and from cons. They're built to protect computers, so they have built in cushioning and compartments for other things. You need to look at various models to find one that meets your needs, as construction and protection vary, but they're easy to transport and will protect (within reason) raw books and slabs

I've also seen people bring rolling luggage to cons. While it does keep you from having to carry the books, I would imagine it would be a pain to wag that thing around behind you all weekend.

 

...not to mention you look like king-nerd doing it.

Those hardshell backpacks look cool

[TheWatcher]

Yeah, I see that at every con and agree with out. I prefer the laptop bag because it's easy to lug around either by its handle or with the optional shoulder strap when it's weighed down by a lot of books

As opposed to the vast crowds of uber-studs walking around comic cons???

No. But when you're in a room full of the nerdiest nerds on the planet, and they all stand around looking at *you* and say "look at that nerd," it's time for a reality check.

comics are easy to put in & take out of these top holders ?.. I wonder if anyone at the con will sell them I don't think hotflaps ships to canada

 

[DiceX]

Very easy to get in and out of the top loaders. They are a must for carrying books around at a convention.

 

 

[synch]

which size is best to use for moderns ?.. Also I like the laptop cast idea I may try that out!

I use a DJ bag, with some beater LPs and sometimes cardboard for support.
