| SILLY question, right? Except they are coming out with a small comic box with printed art on it. One is for Superman and the other for Batman. You'll really need to be careful how you use & label your boxes then. Price is about $12 or so. How long before all the big characters get a box of their own? And will there be variations? Batman, Detective, All star, Nightwing, Robin, Supersons, etc in perpetuity. |

| BCW has had several different ones produced through the years. I'm sure other companies have had licensed deals for boxes too. Here's what BCW currently has in stock. http://www.bcwsupplies.com/cat/comic-book-storage/comic-box |

| Not quite sure when they started, but I've seen ones for most of the major Marvel events lately - Secret Empire, Venomverse, Generations,... I haven't bought any, since Midtown and DCBS only sell bundles of 5, and I can't see myself using more than one box per event. |

Quote:Originally Posted by det_tobor Sure. Slabs are a big part of history at this point. If there were a (hypothetical) auction of say, the very first slab produced by CGC, or the first prototype, I'm sure there would be some collector interest |
