| I have just purchased some black plastic storage bins for my relatively new slab collection. Some of the slabs that I have purchased come in a plastic sleeve/bag and other have not. Is it necessary to put your slab in a sleeve/bag etc to help prevent scratches etc or what do you more experienced guys do?  |

| I would recommend using bags for protection from scatches from the adjacent slabs. Just like for raw comics, you can buy cheap bags or more expensive Mylar ones. PS - I hate comic bags that are self-stick/seal, but I would definitely recommend that feature on the slab bags. |

| @no1lufcfan I was curious as to how you like the box you posted a picture of. In addition, does it have handles or handle holes for carrying the box? In regards to your question, I dont touch my comics very often after I purchase them or have them graded. Once they go in the box, they hang out there for a very long time. I'm thinking with a moderate amount of care they should be fine. |

| I just got the exact same box for my slabs because we are moving in a couple of months and wanted to ensure my slabs were safe. The box works perfect. Not much for handles if I had to nit pick. But easy enough to maneuver around. It comes with 1 partition already so you don’t have to fill the empty space with other stuff to keep the slabs standing up. Great purchase. You will enjoy it. I do not have bags on mine and haven’t dealt with any scratches yet. But I also don’t handle mine much either. |

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

| If you are going to resell a slabbed book be very careful with it I have had many high grade books and buyers ask about the condition of the case more than anything else. Such is the nature of this hobby. |

| I love the BCW graded bins. As for bags, I really like the BCW 2 mil polypropylene. I think I paid $14 for 100. | ||

| I use the black boxes and put a sheet of cardboard between each slab. Almost all of them have the plastic bag. I love the black boxes for the slabs I’m going to keep. |
