| If it's your only choice, it's not really an option and theres nothing you can do. In my opinion humidity is worse than heat. So at least you have that covered. But I'm thinking even if you buy a book from a store or ebay, it spends time in warehouses, non air conditioned postal jeeps it gets exposed to temps higher than 84 degrees. The books will survive that short time. Just make sure the bags are high quality and dont melt with the covers of your favorite books..... |

| You could send your books on a vacation for the hot summer months. Time your CBCS pressing during the heated months and let them chill at CBCS. Figure a year in an air controlled environment. =) Yes. I'm kind of kidding. |

| The Mylars help and the temperature I am sure was a gradual increase to 84 degrees. The dehumidifier is also a big plus to keep that humidity down. Hopefully below 60% RH. A sudden change in temperature would be a bigger concern. I teach psychrometrics and have a passion for properties of air and airflow design. In a nutshell, your books should be fine. Oh, welcome aboard. |

| I had books stored in my garage for a couple years. Temperature in the garage ranged from 40 degrees in the winter to over 100 degrees in the summer. I pulled a few books from the boxes and sent them in to get graded and they all came back with white pages. Four 9.8s, one 9.6, and one 8.5 due to a crease on the back cover. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by BrianGreensnips Mylars definitely will help. Over time, poly bags tend to stick together especially if the books are stored somewhere that can get really warm. I had some books whose bags were stuck together and some were so bad that they had to be peeled off one another. I think if your books are keep bagged and boarded in a closed box, having them stick together pose a worse threat to comic than a warm garage. |

| Keep your comic room/storage.... Temperature = 69 degrees F Humidity = 50% Wherever you live, maintain it! EDIT.. in a pitch black room. |

| Wow...I'm lacking. My books are mostly in the basement (finished) with 1 or 2 thousand on the top floor in my 'office' We keep the house in summer at 23C so like 80F??? likely a little warmer upstairs vs downstairs. I just figure as long as I feel ok then the books are also ok. Some days though even with temp set at 23C it gets warm upstairs - heading back to 30C+ with humidex values in 40's this weekend (90F with humidex of 110F+) My igloo is going to melt!!! |

| @KatKomics that's my understanding as well, "I feel ok then the books are also ok."...I think this applies more for temperature...not sure about humidity. I don't know if the humidity can be too high for the comics but I wouldn't feel it to notice. | ||

 Thank you sir. May I have another?

| So weird, I have never in my life lived in a house or apartment with central air conditioning. The humidity is not the same on the west coast but I have many books that graded with white pages after 30 years of storage in garage or under the stairs. | ||

| I am traveling the country starting from the northwest. Shocked how hot it is, pretty much everywhere. Occasionally had to wear a coat at home over the last few weeks. Seems a distant memory with all the 90’s and 100’s all over. Paranoid the RV AC will die, then I will. |
