Over the years I've used a variety of bags to store my books... in the beginning I used Freezer Bags, then bags from a local Comic Book Store and for the past few years I've stored them in 2 mil Archival Mylar Sleeves with thick Museum Grade Buffered Backing Boards...both from BAGS Unlimited. They are then stored in both Compact and Long Plastic Corrugated Comic Boxes. Marty |

I love the history details of your collection. That is why I collect pedigrees. Not because they are better than the other copies of the same issues. But because of the stories and history behind them. Kudos to you and your collection. You are one of only a handful of people to stick with the hobby for so long. Most of us are on and off many times. |

I believe this is the only graded copy of ZOO FUNNIES #101 (#1). And it might be the FIRST CHARLTON COMIC BOOK. ![]() mm |

Quote:Originally Posted by martymann I've been on the lookout for a copy of this book lately as Captain Marvel visits my hometown, Kansas City (with accurate portrayals of our court house, city hall, and Municipal Auditorium), and it's dated my birthday, though quite a few years before my time. |
