| I might be heading to phoenix comic con in a couple weeks. The first one I went to a couple of years ago was a blast. But I am a lazy sort of fellow and carrying plastic bags of comics for several hours was a pain in the arse. What is the most comfortable method to carry comics around. Won't backpacks have a chance of damaging the comic books? Also will CBCS be there for slab submissions? If I submitted 5 to 10 comic books would the be mailed back separately or all in one package? |

| When I went to Cincy Comic Expo last year I took a messenger bag. I had my books for signing in top loaders, and brought a small box to fit the raw books I was picking up. | ||

| I've always used a backpack or messenger bag with a few of these inside to protect the books. http://www.bcwsupplies.com/cat/comic-book-storage/comic-box/specialty-comic-boxes/comic-book-stor-folio-1-5-inch |

I use BCW Stor-folios, hold about 15 comics each so I usually take a few.   |

| @Savage_Spawn If it's a significant amount of books, a lot of people use small hand carts to bring along a short box. It does look like CBCS will be there. If you submit all the books as one order then yes tou will get them back together but they will move at the speed of the slowest turn-around of the books you submit. |

Nice! That might be the ticket as I'll probably take less than 10 comics in. This is supposed to be a higher quality hunt so I should end up with less than 50 books bought. Otoh knowing my tendencies there's always a chance at 100+ comic books.... |

If you submit the books all as one order then yes you will get them all back at the same time but they will move at the speed of the slowest thrn-around time of the books you submit. |

| I use the BCW folios in a messenger bag. I can fit 3 folios so I can carry about 45 bagged and boarded books or about 60 without bags & boards. I still have a little room in the bag for items like pens, papers, and a 2 or 3 slabbed books | ||

| Do what I do, strap a long box to a dolly! I know it's super nerdy but who cares! I've also seen people use carry on luggage so carry their books around. | ||

| Ditto the messenger bag, also easy if security wants to check bag going in. If you are going on several days, make a plan of action to make sure you have the comics you need on a specific day. Don't try to take them all at once. And leave space in the bag for goodies and art that you see on the sales floor. | ||
