If you coat them with bee hive this can act to repel water due to the wax.

This is my approach. Enjoy your comics and display/store reasonably. Insure for water, fire, etc.

but you spend so much time cultivating your collection, I would rather keep it intact as is then have cash.

One issue of trying to waterproof is if you attempt to seal the boxes or CGC cases you do not allow for off gassing.  Definitely wouldn't want to cause issues trying to prevent others. 

How many waterproof fire safe rusty staple stories have you heard?

I too vote for the CIS option.  Protect what you can as best you can, but insure.

Large water-tight totes, or something like this...

Oh I do but there is an easy thing I can do to prevent a big problem,  I rather be prepared.

That's how at least one comic book store I know of survived the early 2000's after the 90's crash.

Waterproof is good enough for me... though  Fireproof is something I would consider too

If they are waterproof then they cannot fart properly...

[Buzzetta]

Most fireproof containers are not suited to keep non precious metals and after long periods of time tend to cause decomposition in those materials.  

Staples are a non precious metal.

I would not keep them in there.

No, for that you have to remove all the staples.
