Experience with storing comics in an air-tight safe?

[Ogami]

As a redneck who collects funny books, this has been the most beautiful thing I've seen on the boards in a long time.

I prefer a safe that "breathes" to ensure that moisture does not get trapped, regardless of what I'm keeping in it.

 

A product called " Eva-dry" absords any moisture in the safe. Keeps collectables and guns from having problems. These are available at most gun stores and stores that sell safes. When the chrystals change pink, you take it and plug it into an outlet for about an hour. It dries out the chrystals and your good for another month. I personally have the E - 333 model.

Yeah, I use the "Remington" branded version. Same product, just different branding. They help, but circulation is still fairly important. Found this out the hard way several years ago. I keep five of these in the safe. A little overkill, but I like the peace of mind and it ensures that there's always a couple of units in the safe while the others are being charged.

 

I've posted this pic before. I don't keep all my books in the safe, just the most expensive or hard to find.

 

 

Are all of those handguns? Are you preparing for the zombie apocalypse or just a home intruder attempting to take your prized bronze bats?

 

Being from the UK, the sight of all those handguns kinda makes me nervous

 

Can't you just defend yourselves with cricket bats and tepid cups of tea like civilised people?

I want to know what's in the safe within the safe

No matter how long I've collected or how many precautions I've taken, it still keeps me up at night knowing that comics are decaying paper. As we post, our comics are decaying, turning more and more brittle.

 

Maybe you would sleep better if you sold your funny books and bought diamonds. I grown man collecting comic books...really!
