extensive information on leading comic book storage bags articles and

We
store comics to keep them valuable. Air pollution, ultra violet light,
dirt and oil from fingers as well as rough handling all contribute to
the deterioration of a comic. Storing a comic book properly is
essential to keeping it valuable. There are 3 major storage components
to proper comic storage. They are comic bags, comic backing boards,
comic boxes.
In this ariticle we will talk a little about comic book bags.
Putting your comic in a properly sized comic book bag not only keeps
dust, dirt and finger oils off the comic book surface, but helps
prevent scuffing which can bring down the value of a comic book
considerably. The three most popular comic bag materials are
polyethylene, polypropylene and Mylar. New Comic Bags, Regular Comic
Bags, Dell & Silver Age Comic Bags and Golden Age Comic Bags as
well as Treasury Comic Bags all are available in all three of these
materials.
All three materials are considered to be ARCHIVAL - Meaning that there
is nothing in the composition of the material
that
can contribute to the breakdown or destruction of the comic book being
stored in it.
Mylar is considered to be the most archivally sound and is the choice
of most museums and archivists as it has the longest shelf life of the
three materials. BUT, Every day comic collectors can feel comfortable
using polyethylene comic bags or polypropylene comic bags. Most comic
book bags come with a fold over flap that can be taped on the outside
of the bag along with certain varieties of comic book bags that feature
a reseal tape on the body of the bag (vs. the flap), so the tape
doesn't catch on the comic and cause damage to the comic.
Just remember that with comic books, as with any type colletable, be
sure to store it in a cool, dry place free from sunlight, dust, oils,
and everyday exposure. This will ensure a long and enjoyable collecting
hobby for what ever you collect.
