Storing comics in mailer boxes 0

[FSF]

What do you folks think of storing your collection in these types of boxes as opposed to the traditional long/short boxes?  I like the idea of batching books in smaller quantities, if and when I ever get a collection going.  Since some dealers ship books like this, I imagine they're generally safe as long as  as the books have backing boards and you don't throw the boxes around haphazardly.

They would be fine, but as your collection gets bigger, these will cost more and take up more space than a short or long box.

Understood.  Does anyone know of a CGC box option that holds like 3-5 holders snuggly in a small closeable box.  I'm not really interested in the CGC 35 slab holder boxes.

Mycomicshop  sends their slabs packed in an individual box. It might be able to hold two or three, but certainly not five.

I've stored a lot of smaller batches of books and small collections in these since about 1984 - never had a problem with them.  All cardboard boxes are going to be acidic, unless you buy archival ones (which are available from many companies), so books need to be covered with a sleeve of some kind.
