You're supposed to fold your favorite comic in half so you can fit it in your back pocket, that way, it's always there with you.

[@WeLoveComics]

When you buy something with your own money you can do whatever you want with it. I seriously doubt though if you had an action comics #1 in your hands, you would do that to it... But to each their own. There is no one right or wrong way, there is just YOUR way.

[@WeLoveComics]

But I Can definitely see about your meaning about enjoying them. Nothing wrong with that at all and I appreciate your thoughts.

[@Ho-Ho-Boo]

Patrick, good one! You gave me a laugh. Uh, Chris, he was joking. Patrick was referring to back in the day when kids would do just that, fold the comic lengthwise in half and put it in their back pocket.

Another possible tip is to buy a board slightly longer than the comic. That way when you are thumbing through issues you're touching the board instead

I cant stand comics on boards and in bags that are very tight, ruins the corners

I've been stacking my comics for years for this purpose alone, i'm glad i'm not the only person who does this, as well as using mylars & fullbacks and painter tape for taping the back

[@WeLoveComics]

Sounds like you got your collection all taken care of :). Great job,,,,

[@michaelthompson1363]

Face to face is not the best solution. Think about it, you're placing the covers directly against each other. Books in regular/silver age bags shift so they aren't always perfectly aligned. You are effectively inviting spine roll in most cases, especially when a box is full. Front facing ensures an entire board presses evenly across the book behind. The key is to use one size of bag and board for your entire collection, never mixing, and don't overstuff your boxes.

[@WeLoveComics]

Thank you for sharing your point of view on this topic.

[@hoobieslaw1380]

[@stevebradley4885]

Great ideas...thanks! I kind of modified this the reversal of the comics in my boxes in groups of 5 or so as it seems to keep them pretty straight, however not as good as your method. I watched a CGC packing video and they stack 5 comics in the same direction for shipment and the books would be much safer if they told people to alternate them like you mentioned, especially during shipping. So, now I believe after watching your video I need to put cardboard on the ends and make sure the boxes are not overstuffed as I remember they are...Thanks for making your videos!

[@WeLoveComics]

I am glad another video of mine helped you. And yeah, over stuffing a box is what causes those indents on the staple side of the books so make sure they have room to move a little :). Thank you for watching another video, new upload in a few minutes.

[@theoriginaldogtalker]

Good tips. I put one comic on each side of the backing board, into one bag. The staples are on opposing sides now. I did this to save 100-150 backing boards and bags, cost, space and pressing purposes. I can also fit more books per box. I used 35-year-old comic boxes which were twice the thickness of current boxes( I also made the box water-resistant and stronger by wrapping in quality packing tape and nice stickers:) The packing tape yellowed after 15 years. The stickers did not. I squeezed as many as possible into the box. This removed all the air from the bags and boards. I used old backing boards at the end of the boxes because they are thinner. I cut the tab out of the handle and wrapped right around the handle with packing tape. They have never torn. I then transported 2100 silver age comics from Florida to Canada like this 35 years ago. I occasionally checked on these books as life allowed. I am now dry cleaning and changing the good ones to Myler. These books do not appear to have aged a day since I compressed them. At one point I had 13,000 comics and room to display 40. It was easy to leave a box compressed and untouched for years. I believe compressing the books and removing all the air worked very well. you can also tap the side of the box to get the spines all lined up before storage(the backing board should protect the book). I hope this helps. Now to learn how to press books:)

[@WeLoveComics]

Another great way to store your comics, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@peerboom]

I’ve been storing my books cover to cover, back to back for years. They told me I was weird.

The Hulk's debut seemed a bit controversial. He was originally grey rather than the familiar and still current 'Green With Envy'. The reason of the color change was due to the differing shades of grey from book to book as the printing press from that time was not designed to produce a consistent shade.

I discovered the back to front method about 25 years ago when I saw someone else do it, and I agree its superior. A further related tip I would give, while its not exactly 50% each way, is specifically have odd-numbered issues face one way and even the other, if the box has a serial run, because its much more adaptable when you have gaps you fill over time.

[@WeLoveComics]

Glad I had a video you found helpful :). Thank you for your comment.

[@Zoetropeification]

Thanks for posting this video. Great info for helping keep books as nice as possible. As you showed, not over filling the box is most important. I also have a couple of variations on how I store books. I always have old poly bags and used boards laying around because I transfer a lot of books to mylar when they are purchased. I will take a few old boards and put them in an old poly bag and place those against the cardboard flap in each end of the boxes. I use magazine size boxes rather than long boxes because I feel when the boxes are moved there is less weight of the books pushing against one another. Instead of facing alternating books I face one half of the box one direction and the other half the opposite direction. I find it practical when I'm flipping through looking for a book. Plus, I think it is good for the face of each book to be resting against a backer board. For spacers in partially full mag boxes I reuse bubble wrap. It can be adjusted to fit any space and provides good tension against the books without squeezing them too tightly. I keep various sized small boxes on hand to fill larger space as well.

As a person who has collected for over 35 years I would agree with all of this. The only thing I don't do is have them face each other. I do use Mylite II's and fullback on every book though, so that really adds to the support.

[@WeLoveComics]

That is another great way to protect your comics... Only bad thing is that is really expensive, especially if you have like me over 30 long boxes of comics.... :). I will just have to win the Lottery I guess ;).

I always want to spend fun money on more comics. I buy them and when I see I have triple copies of a comic I sell them, and then buy the Mylite 2's and fullbacks. They are still pricey though.

You could purchase general Silver age size bags and boards and put two comics per bag, one on each side and that solves the problem too...

[@WeLoveComics]

That is definitely another way to do it as well....

[@harveyabel1354]

Placing them cover to cover in the bags?

[@brettsokoloski3772]

With full back boards only, me thinks.

Love the advice! Thank you! Any tips or suggestions on what storage boxes to store giant sized comic books? I’m new to collecting

[@WeLoveComics]

As long as the box is sturdy and can keep them upright, any box will do :)

[@bd34055]

@@WeLoveComics Sweet! I was contemplating buying bcw boxes but I wasn’t sure if they were sturdy enough, thanks for the advice!

[@cccpkingu]

Backing board towards the outside on both ends seems like a good practice, especially if the stops aren't there.

Whenever I buy comics from a local shop they have the board with them more often than not

[@WeLoveComics]

That is a good comic shop :)

[@flashfan1122]

I've been building up my Justice League International collection hat I have not built up for years. I plan on replacing the plastic sleeves and getting new boards for each comic. I was looking into some boxes to buy as I have them in temporary boxes (with cardboard on either end), but having them in zig-zag order was something I did not consider. It makes sense.

[@WeLoveComics]

Glad you found this video and I hope it helps you :). I appreciate you taking the time to comment. Hope you check out more of my videos.

Oh man. What would have done without this very rare unknown comic knowledge

[@cheekchalk112]

[@paulcallahan4279]

I was doing what you said not to do but now i am putting your storage tips into action.=b

[@WeLoveComics]

That is good to hear, hope you notice the difference in the long run :)
