Quote:Originally Posted by Redshade Nope I know how google works  just I thought storing them in those "short/long boxes" were ok for just bulk not so valuable comics as when you see people at conventions their digging their fingers in bending them back and it just doesn't look ideal. Just thought there would have been a better way of storing comics when their fairly pricey. |

| A cabinet like this runs roughly $2K - $3K and they aren't aesthetically anything I'd want. http://www.handsomeboydesigns.com/ct3000/ This "must be properly anchored to the wall per installation instructions", so there are other complications besides just buying it. |

 I had no way of knowing that 9.8 graded copies signed by Adam Hughes weren't what you were looking for.

| @X51 So for the amount of comics I have I would be looking at $15K plus a move to a bigger place. | ||

 I bought a meat grinder on amazon for $60 and it's changed my life.

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos I think it could cost me even more than that. This is why people stick to the white boxes and then opt to make furniture out of comic boxes. This guy is relying on wood glue to keep his comics from hitting the floor. Also... no handles. |

| Has anyone ever used Comic Cubes? I'd love to have some, but the prices are a bit much for my collection. Comic Cube website |

| @X51 If you are looking to store CGC / CBCS short boxes for slabbed books the best value is probably the metal shelving they sell at Target / Lowes / Home Depot / etc. You can get shelves 18" deep (two sets could give you 36" for a long box, 3-4 feet wide and anywhere from 3-7 feet high. I have two shelves on one wall holding close to 1,000 slabs in these short boxes. | ||

| As much as I'd love a whole wall shelved out to cater for comics I think that would be for a day I acquire 1000s!! I think the short boxs or something made out of plastic will do for now. What are the bags that are thicker?? All my comics are bagged and boarded and some came with a thicker type sleeve which I wouldn't really call a bag? Is it ok to have them bagged and boarded and then each in a thicker sleeve and then in a short box... that way I can lable the top of the sleeve of what the comic is? |

Quote:Originally Posted by drchaos Yep! I know a distributor that would sell me the heavy duty ones. I would prefer a furniture style approach if I could justify the cost. I like comic books, but I've never wanted the house to look like a comic shop's storage room. |

| @X51 With the shelving my place looks slightly less like a comic shop's storage room. I am going to be starting some much needed sales threads here in the new year. | ||
