Popular Post Gaard Posted December 25, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2021 After hearing opinions, for years, on how comics should be stored, it is my opinion that, no matter how they are stored, there is a reason for doing it some other way.

This true. I have seen all types of storage techniques over the years. My favorite still is putting the boards back to back I still see that one from time to time. Ive seen stored upside down every other one, and Ive seen a dozen shrink wrapped together in bricks. Also some of the boards I see which are flimsy as all get it Id like to know who makes them so I can mark them off my list lol.

Lord Gemini Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Eh, I had several comics I've recently submitted to CGC and received 9.8s on that I've stored upright in bags and boards in short boxes for a good 15 years. I can't say if there has been any damage to any other comics storing them this way, or if anything will happen in the future, but this method has worked well for me so far.

I wasn't sure if keeping them this way (horizontal) was worse so I had to ask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on exactly what you mean, I would probably disagree. Do you mean they complicate things from an elevated position.....like from an upstairs room? Or that once they complicate things, then they consider it over? Or did you mean that they like to make things more complicated than they need to be? I think we need to chart this thing out and then have a poll to decide exactly what you meant on a subconscious level.

Should be plenty of room standing up, almost an extra 3", if the advertised measurement is correct. Ninja0215 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tried standing them up inside but the lid wouldn't close properly with them that way. So I put them horizontal and then flipped the case! They're all vertical inside now so I hope they don't sustain any damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was thinking you were doing something wrong as I 've never seen a design like that, but the photos seem to show them stored sideways. With those dimensons, they should stand up.
