I do all BCW graded comic plastic box. Even for my raw books so I can stack all my boxes.

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

You've got classy taste!

[@brickhunter9537]

@@JernosComicsPopCulture it’s just that I’ve seen too many incidents of cat, dog, kids accidents on cardboard boxes. 😆 not taking any chances.

[@MetalBum]

Thanks for thorough review and comics jerno. I value your wisdom

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Thanks!

As always Appreciate the Work and Thank you for the knowledge ✌

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Thanks Simon! Yeah I love watching tip vids too and I'm just glad that I have this platform that allows me to share my opinion on things;

[@Bcwsupplies]

Thanks for reviewing some of our comic products.

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Absolutely!

[@HongFeiBai]

I like the plastic ones. I need to get some :)

[@andresm3737]

I bought 12 bcw plastic bins for my collection a few years ago (collection isn’t anywhere as huge as your lol) and have enjoyed them but I agree with you they are pretty expensive I believe my shop had them for 20$ when you are a pull box holder Great video!👍 enjoy this type of content

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Thanks! I appreciate the comment!

[@michaelq49]

I don't know why I got this in my recommended...but I've been needing something new to store my comic books so I think I'm going to give this BCW Box a shot. Thanks!

[@reesemetcalf8122]

Thank you! I'm new to the hobby and now I know how to store my comics. I just went out and bought a short box the other day.

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

So awesome! And welcome to the hobby!

[@VarangianVigilante]

The graded comic book bins also works very well for magazines

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

ah yes indeed!

[@pinewoodilluminati4195]

Thanks for making this video! I love those black plastic bins... they are really thought out and designed well. The BCW cardboard boxes are also far superior to another brand that I have purchased. They are really thinking through their designs start to finish. Great video! Please keep them coming!

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Absolutely. I'm still not transferring my entire collection over, but might add a few plastics here and there.

[@pinewoodilluminati4195]

Jerno's Comics & Pop Culture I don’t see why not.... you could probably re-box the entire collection in black plastic bins for the low cost of a Hulk 181, 9.0!

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

haha exactly!

[@leesandoval8385]

I have 2 of the BCW Black storage bins, one is for my slabs & the other is for my Super expensive key issues! Love those Black containers!!!

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Hey that's what I've done as well!

[@jillandre8160]

I use the plain white short boxes and put labels on them...I have a Batman box I put a ‘nice’ bat symbol sticker on. Planning on using the cardboard short boxes until we have a home...then I want to build a big storage wall with pull out bins...it will be sick but also all I see is $$$ when I think about it. Lol

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

I love being able to decorate the standard boxes. I've used stickers and I've Mod Podged some. A storage wall will be amazing. It absolutely will cost a lot of money, but the investment should be worth it. Especially if you know that you are in a home that you plan on staying in.

[@ghostjunkstudios]

I 100% got the plastic bins because I knew it would protect my comics way better against my crazy cat lol. Glad I’m not the only one who was thinking cats could be a cardboard boxes nightmare. 😅👍

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Gotta protect against the cats! Lol

[@SlimsCollectionFood_More]

Looking to get some plastic storage bins. I like the printed graphics boxes as well. Cardboard boxes are always sturdy. Nice vid! ✌

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Thanks! Yeah once you get your hands on the plastic bins, it really is a game changer.

[@MrAce514]

Just got the plastic bin a few days ago and damn it is a great investment! I’ll get more down the line for sure! Great video👌

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Nice! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@jose323123]

Yup the boxes are good thank u for the info

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

For sure!

[@713comics5]

My dude glad to see you do this video and happy you got yourself a plastic bin box

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

haha thank you!

[@madog55]

I just bought a case of 5 for $99.00 on amazon of the comic book plastic bin 2 weeks ago. I only use the bins for my keys and ASM. I hate long boxes because they too heavy to move and take much more space than short boxes.

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

20 a piece, not too shabby. I like that your ASMs are in the same category as your keys!

[@dayymares]

I love my lateral filing cabinets... Have 3 2 drawer cabinets, each hold around 1500 books, and are easy to browse though. And then have graded bins on top. Only issue is selling, or moving, the comics... There is no moving a loaded cabinet.

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Yes! Filing cabinets are actually sweet options if set up right! I've seen some KZbinrs that really did some nice work on customizing them to fit their books.

[@raiderbear1]

Appreciate the info vids mate. Keep up the great work

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Thanks! I appreciate the continued support.

[@setenpab]

Thanks you got you input and review, It help me a lot and you confirm my choice about this BCW plastic Boxes for my collection, I know it will be a huge investment, but because a recently leaking problem in the place where I have part of my collection, If I got this before, probable I would safe a lot of money and probably I didn’t lose some amazing comics. Thanks again !!

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Glad this was helpful! Remember, you can use the code JERNOS anytime you order from BCW's website! The code never expires and can be used as many times as you order!

[@kickz2828]

Damn, I really fuck with that period pendant chain you got goin on 👀😂beenadyme

[@Glitch_343]

All of my short boxes are BCW (got around 30 of them) and love them. I have tried cheaper alternatives (e.g. Comicare before it was discontinued) and found that the cut doesn't fit right leaving you with big gaps. BCW boxes have a nice tight fit which is great. Only issue I have with them is that they are very difficult to get in the UK without paying stupid amounts for delivery. Through the BCW website, delivery is around $122-$144 which is why i never buy directly through them. Third parties are a viable option but the price of the boxes will go up e.g. that plastic bin in the UK usually goes for around £52($65) for a single box. Shame really 😕

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

wow!! Ouch. Ughh. Sometimes we here in the states don't realize how spoiled we are with some things.

[@fivenight]

Those plastic comic book bins are more than 5x better than cardboard. Plastic bins all day. Budget for the future. Cardboard bends over time, is a breeding ground for pests, and holds moisture. True story. Lol. I couldn't switch fast enough when the plastic bins came out a couple years ago.

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

I hear you. Though I will say that I've had many cardboard boxes for decades that have withstood the test of time. I think it goes back to looking at the overall environment of where you are storing your books. I'm pretty spoiled being able to have the space in an insulated room where I don't really worry about certain elements. Though, I do get a lot of daddy long leg spider webs on the ceiling in my room.

[@raiderbear1]

Awesome work mate

[@MrPonytron]

I'm gonna get some of those plastic ones with some of my stimulus 😁

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Nice!

[@grandmarquee]

What's a good cheap goes a long way spacers for no lean in cardboard boxes?

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

I use empty Pop boxes!

[@raiderbear1]

Damn nice and cheap. In Australia comic defense card board box is $15 and BCW book bin is $45

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

ouch, 15 for a box? That's tough :(

[@raiderbear1]

@@JernosComicsPopCulture yeah after your vid i checked out BCW webstite i was going to order direct from them and try and save some money. Its not the product that gets you its the postage or shipping. I was going to buy $145 USD worth of product and it was going to cost $680 USD in shipping. I know the shipping cost was probably due to the weight if the order but if im going to order direct im going to order in bulk not like 1 pack of boards, box and a pack of sleeves

[@kidnycz]

Great review!

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Thank you!

[@ghostjunkstudios]

Yo! I'm hoping you can give some expert advise towards a quick question pertaining to these boxes. I know you've been pushing BCW Cardboard Comic Boxes for quite some time and I recently purchased some but was surprised by a few of the box designs. I noticed that, while they are nicely slim shaped and feel sturdier than boxes from other brands, they have gaps on the right and left bottom end sections that allow comics to fall in those grooves. Now don't get me wrong, I add extra boards on each of the ends anyways, but I was wondering if these gaps were always present and is it normal for them to also have 1/4inch holes in the bottom corners? Maybe their product changed over time or these manufacturing decisions are intentional to increase air circulation? These things just stand out as odd at first glance so I would appreciate some educated feedback from a pro such as yourself incase the quality of the boxes has decreased in their recent batches. Thanks in advance for your time and hope you have an awesome weekend!

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Hey hey! This is very interesting as I have never had any type of issue like you are talking about. Can you maybe send me some pictures on IG? Or email me at [e-mail]

[@ghostjunkstudios]

@@JernosComicsPopCulture Sure thing! I will definitely hook you up with some photos. Thanks in advance and hope you have a great weekend! 🤙🏻

[@kickz2828]

4:55 why that BCW box look shorter tho? That sponsor shit lol

[@williamesposito5128]

How many books fit in the long plastic box?

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Similar to a short box, if standard raw books, 130 -150. If you're talking graded, I'm not too sure off the top of my head.

[@ninjaslicer2908]

Cool vid and I just got new iron man and spider man comics

You are now my favorite comic book KZbinr

[@BSchnurr]

Man I LOVE my BCW plastic bin. It’s all about that peace of mind having two dogs a cat and a baby but I got a question. When I first started collecting single issues I saw a video were the guy said to rotate the spin in the box. Do you think this is important? I am starting to think not especially cause I’m not over packing my boxes

[@MrAce514]

BSchnurr5929 hello there! I do recommend rotating the spine even in the plastic bin...try both ways and you’ll see how much better it is to rotating the spine compared to not doing so...

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

I appreicate Ace's comment and perspective. He's not wrong at all. Rotating the spines will provide that extra piece of mind if you want to go the extra mile when storing your books. But personally I don't do it. If you are storing your books in Mylar and backing boards especially, I believe any long term damage to the spines is almost nill to none, as long as you aren't over stuffing your boxes. If you are over stuffing, then it becomes more of a problem. If you are storing without backing boards, then it becomes a serious problem. I also do not like having books not facing forward. As a completest, I need to have each book facing forward so when I am flipping through my boxes, I see each and every book. Again, this is all my personal opinion. Everyone should really examine all variables, and choose what is best for them.

[@BSchnurr]

Jerno's Comics & Pop Culture well I’m not using Mylar yet but not being able to see the title really bugs me. It’s something I’ve always done but with 6 boxes now it’s starting to get annoying when I want to reread or add to the box

[@MrAce514]

Jerno's Comics & Pop Culture you said it very well. True indeed everyone needs to try every way they can to figure out their personal collector’s style be it comics, cards, figures, or whatever you prefer. I’m not yet at the mylar level but if it greatly reduces spine damage for the long term I’ll have to switch over sooner than later. I flip the spines but I sacrifice my preference of seeing every comic book one after the other...

[@josukehigashikata7769]

Is it bad to put trade paper backs in comic boxes ?

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

I would say not at all! I have a few TPBs in some boxes, although I do like to display them on my book shelf.

[@raiderbear1]

I go 4 high for my boxs

[@TheCaptaincomic]

Amazon has the short box storage bins are $22.95 and sometimes they have it on sale for 16 bucks. my self and few stores in my city has found BCW website is a rip off

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

I say this respectfully, but sometimes we should put things into perspective before making such harsh accusations. First, the boxes for $22.95 on Amazon are sold BY BCW themselves, and they are only that price for Prime members. If you are not a prime member, they are 29.95. Also, if you buy in bulk from BCW, they drop their prices. I have been buying BCW product for 2 decades, and I always check multiple sources and explore lowest prices available, and I will humbly state that BCW is not a ripoff. I buy E Gerber Mylar bags instead of BCW because they end up being cheaper in bulk, but that doesn't mean BCW is a rip off. Sometimes, you are just bound to find a slightly better deal somewhere else.

[@TheCaptaincomic]

@@JernosComicsPopCulture That is true other sits do have better deals

[@ScottSidwell]

do you still have a discount code ?

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

Yes! JERNOS is the code. It never expires.

Hmmm...getting paid by BCW 🙄🤔

[@JernosComicsPopCulture]

lolll. Hilarious. Funny thing is when I made this video, I wasn't getting paid by BCW whatsoever. But they actually saw it, contacted me, and offered me a partnership where folks can get 10% off their orders. But go ahead and leave a lame ass comment. Have a great evening!
