Popular Post jmg3637 Posted May 16, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 16, 2021 After the branch being closed since pandemic began, they now decided to permanently close the branch. Had a box as large as a short magazine box. Had most of my top 100 books there. Don't think I will be able to find a box that will hold even 25.

Popular Post lou_fine Posted May 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted May 18, 2021 (edited) That's one of the big problems with having your books encased in those huge bulky slabs as they take up far too much storage space. Much better to simply have them in beautiful glossy mylar bags where your big safety deposit can probably hold over 100 of those GA books.

I definitely don't like the fact that the newer slabs are thicker. It seems like they went in the wrong direction. What I like about slabs is that you don't need a backing board, so you can look at the back cover easily. Larryw7 and Chief1332 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Down here in San Diego I can’t think of a single bank or credit union that closed during the pandemic in my area let alone close altogether. Sorry to hear that… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skypinkblu Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 TD bank closed branches all over the Country. I had the same problem, however, a very kind boarder helped me get another box at a different branch. Those large boxes are like finding gold.

Big AA #1 and NY Worlds Fair with the "blonde" superman are two of my all time FAVS of GA Big books. You have great taste and a great collection well worth paying the price to protect it.

Glad someone noticed the kitty in the background . Since she is a bit mischievous I had to take the pic quickly Point Five 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted June 19, 2021 Author Share Posted June 19, 2021 Here is another shot of #1s from the box. Must have been close to 100 books including the slabs. Since this one contains both SA & GA I will post it in both threads as well as the OGWLOC Facebook group Larryw7, Point Five, Mmehdy and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmg3637 Posted June 26, 2021 Author Share Posted June 26, 2021 Here is a small group of professionally restored #1 DC issues . Somewhere I have a very amature restored GA Green Lantern #1 . That one was not worthy of being in the SD box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catman76 Posted June 26, 2021 Share Posted June 26, 2021 Not only do people encase comic books in plastic so they cannot be opened and looked at, they also then seal them up in a vault so they can't be seen period. What a strange, weird world I live in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
