Joel0109 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 What do you guys use to keep a less then full box of comics from falling over? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCOComics Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Good question.. I'm sure others have far smarter solutions than me, but this is what I've done. The best thing I've found is stocking up backing Boards. A couple of unopened packages of comic book boards works well and then you can use them as you go. It's probably not the most economical solution, but if your going to use them, it makes sense. I've also used thick books that are similar sized to comics. The problem with books is, it can make the weight distribution uneven. Not a big deal, but something to be conscious of when you move the box around.

flchris Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I use backing boards as well. Usually have a lot of extras lying around... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpineTic Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 I stack mine cover to cover. No more bottom comers bending no matter how few comics are in the short box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use actual bookends and place a thick piece of cardboard between the bookend and the 1st book. Avi 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
celluloidbuff Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 When I collected sports cards, I would use a small foam piece that could be bent to fit however many cards were in a given set, and then it would expand to fill void. A comic box would require a much larger piece of foam obviously, so I don't know how economical a solution like that would be. Like many of the others here, I just use backing boards new in package.

Ordered one of these a couple days ago, definitely better than the cardboard contraptions I was using. SpineTic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
