selegue Posted April 25, 2007 Share Posted April 25, 2007 I always marvel when I see high grade examples like some of these...the fragile nature of comic book (ephemera) seems to me to be a metaphor for our life. I also marvel when I see people in their 70's who are still very active..jogging, cycling, traveling etc....and others who are just burned out. So I've decided to start living in Bangzooms comic book room, to better preserve myself. Does he know? I will first shrink myself to the size of Dollman. He might never notice. Hopefully I won't step in any mouse traps. Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll trade you enough mylar for all those books for the MMC #8. Actually, I offered to give him 50 mylars and archives for just that purpose. Otherwise, they are just going to sit in a pile on my shelves. Still, if they have been keeping well preserved to this point, why do anything different. Remember if it ain't broke don't fix it.

Still, if they have been keeping well preserved to this point, why do anything different. Remember if it ain't broke don't fix it. I have books that could use some protection.
