Displaying and storing treasury editions...how do you do it?

[Turtle]

I have exactly 3 treasury-sized books in my collection and I don't anticipate getting anymore in the near future. What is the common way to store these? Do they make treasury-sized bags and boards? What's a good way to store them? Is there a good way to display them?

I bought the Bill Cole 4 mil mylar and backing boards for mine. Since you dont have many, see if you can pick up singles from a convention he shows up at.

I store mine flat in boxes. Probably around 20 or so in each box. I've kept them that way for the last 15 or so years.

I'm not sure if they would fit in a toploader made for Time magazines, but if they do, that might work for displaying them

I custom made a backing board...Cut a heavy duty piece of cardboard, affixed two regular backing boards to the HD cardboard and store in a treasury size bag. Keep it upright with a acrylic stand. Displays nicely in my cabinet...I have the Superman vs Spider-Man one...

I too love those Treasuries. Everything is just so - BIG.

 

They make collector supplies for them, just like regular comics

I listed the above because you only need a few and at $12 shipped for 10 it would meet your needs. You can as others have noted order them from Bill Cole, Bags Unlimted, etc...

 

The boxes are harder. The easiest solution I think is to use a standard magazine box and put them in sideways.

Thanks for all the suggestions, everyone!

I bought bags and boards for mine on the Internet from some where. And I keep them in a broken mag box turned sideways.

I never said we were.

 

I figure, the least you could do was answer the question.

well I figured my answer-stacking em in a closet-wasnt quite what the OP was looking for. But I did want to show my appreciation for TE in a spirit of comaraderie.

That's what i do with most of my treasuries. I do have the really hi-grade specimens in frames I picked up at an art supply store. I'd prefer mylars, but couldn't find any at the time.

The Life Magazine top loader fits 11x15, so it would fit a treasury sized book.
