Small Comic Boxes Shelving System Recommendations 0

[Otter1775]

Good afternoon to all.  I am about to relocate and wanted to get some ideas of a shelving system for small comic book boxes and slabbed boxes; e.g., CGC, PGX, & CBCS.  Your input is greatly appreciated.  Looking for something sturdy obviously.  If you have suggestions, please include webiste or store, thank you.

I use these plastic BCW comic box bins to store my stuff you can stack them pretty high they are durable and you wont have to worry about the cardboard boxes getting crushed they also look cool and have that nice top opening flap and I feel they are more sturdy and like the dividers support to keep books from leaning if you store raw books.

Have you seen the drawer-type comic boxes that are stackable?

yeah one comic shop I visited a lot near my work place had a wall of them but after many people have pulled those boxes in and out they went down fast the handles broke on them the sides buckled the drawer part would sag... mind you being in LCS I assume they got more handling than they were designed for but with the plastic stuff you wouldn't see this no matter how long and how much handling they have.

Thank you to you both, much appreciated and will look into them.

Comic drawers are much sturdier and durable that the BCW knockoffs. Some of mine are approaching fifteen years old and not buckling.

If one looks around, you can find lateral file cabinets for pennies on the dollar. I have four of them and each holds twenty short boxes.

Check out bankruptcy and going out of business sales.
