Sweaty palms ruining comics

[Mishmashman]

Anyone have problems with sweaty palms damaging their comics? My biggest problem is going to the shop and picking out comics. When I hold onto a comic long enough, my palms start to sweat and it ruins the comic. I've considered wearing latex gloves into the shop but then I'd look like a murderer. I've asked about handcarts, but my shop doesn't offer them.

 

Anyone else have this problem? What measures have you taken to remedy it?

Why don't you just wear normal gloves?

That's why all Grimm's Fairy Tales must be immediately slabbed....to many sweaty palms because of all the tittilage.

Take them to the counter and ask to leave them there while you continue to shop. They won't mind, especially if you keep adding to the pile.

Not all palms sweat the same.

Actually, the reason I ask is that my palms sweat more than normal, I think, but it's because I worked with my hands for years as a mechanic.

 

Everybody's body is different. Just take whatever measures you can to not sweat on your comics...or spill any other bodily fluids.

 

That should just about end it for this thread, right?

Magnesium is your friend.

The stuff is amazing, really.

 

Porsche switched from aluminum engine blocks in the late 1960's to magnesium engine blocks. The stuff was really brittle (not very flexible, so engines didn't contract/expand well and tended to leak oil) but it was so light that if you could get the engines to stop leaking it was a thing of beauty.

 

It was freakish how light but strong the metal was.

 

They switched back to aluminium in the early/mid 70's again because of leaking problems.

 

It would be the equivalent of adamantium in comics.

I bring one of these with me..

I show them that it is empty when I arrive so they know I am not trying to steal from them.

 

Find a copy I like,box it and buy it. I never worry about my (or the cashier's) hands ruining nice copies.

Bring bags and boards with you and bag them as you go, with the UPC out (if your shop scans the UPC), or the side with the cover price out if the manually imput it. Problem solved.

I wear oven mitts.....it avoids the "murderer" look and brings happiness to people through thoughts of fresh baked cookies!

Are you fat, really, really, sweaty fanboy fat ?

I get my butler to handle them. He doesn't look suspicious wearing gloves.
