When I buy a slabbed comic, it usually has fingerprints on it. So I take it to the back yard and hose it down real good. Then I dry it with a high quality chamois. After that, I leave it out in the sun for a few hours to make sure it's absolutely dry.

 

Then I put it with the others in the freezer in my garage. I keep it at least 10 degrees below zero at all times. The low temperature is absolutely essential!

 

When I want to look at a book, it usually has a coating of frost on it. So I preheat the oven to 200 degrees (no higher, or you will melt the slab!), then put it in there for about 5 minutes. This gets the frost off real good.

 

I highly recommend this for all slabbed books.
