If you tip the box back a bit on an angle by putting something under the top front, you can stack them as high as the box allows, which would not happen on a raw stack. Without the box, you have to transfer the stack periodically, when the comics want to slide off. If you use the box horizontally, you constantly have to nudge the comics together, keep them from sliding down into the open section of the box etc. Also, by putting it on its end, you can get the maximum number of comics in the box. Gravity helps to compress the stack better than trying to do it horizontally. No air gaps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Motor City Rob Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 I found a Craigslist ad from Cleveland, Ohio with same picture. Not sure what to think. https://cleveland.craigslist.org/wad/d/cleveland-looking-to-buy-comic-books/7482243634.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tec-Tac-Toe Posted May 13, 2022 Share Posted May 13, 2022 On 5/12/2022 at 3:24 PM, Stefan_W said: The long boxes on their sides with comics stacked without bags or boards make me cringe and sob a little. I store my raw comic books a bit like that, but with the boxes upside down. Yes, the storage of the comic books leaves a lot to be desired. It may be that the amount of comic books overwhelmed the individual/company at some point and storing them properly was in free-fall after that. Thankfully, I always manage to avoid being overwhelmed by my comic books (that sounds a bit weird) by immediately or soon thereafter bagging, boarding, and boxing them as they arrive.

I think many of us have and, in my limited experience, the comic book stores that I have visited with that storage method are as messy as the picture of the warehouse included in this thread and a great many of the back issue comic books were in the VG (4.0) to VG/F (5.0). Heck, at some stores even the just released comic books were strewn about. I will confess, however, that I did manage to still find what became gems much later on at most of those stores. Of course, at the time most of the back issue comic books that I purchased, at least those that I recall, were "basically worthless." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
