Finally, a comic tuber who talks clear and slowly. Good vid.
This might be my favorite comment so far! Thanks for watching!
Not enough videos on storage options.Thank you for this much needed video!
You're welcome! I felt there's a need for more of these types of videos, even if it may not seem as interesting. Thanks for watching!
Amazing advice. I wish I'd seen this 25 years ago, would have prevented a lot of mistakes. Lot's of great content in Raph's channel!
Great video!
Really great and informative video for any collector. Your Bronze Age horror is absolutely beautiful my friend, thanks for sharing your tips and tricks!
Thanks for watching Brandon! The Bronze age horror stuff is harder to come by in the wild now, but it's always fun looking for it.
@@raph-retro-comics of course! As you know my wild hunting is few and far between but even online hunting which I’m pretty good at, I don’t see them in that condition that often!
I'm old-school - short boxes only, corrugated cardboard.
For gold/silver Mylites, I started with Gerber boxes, then moved to Diamond magazine boxes.They are useful to store my magazines, hardcover and soft trades too!
I should have noted that for hardcovers and trades I just use my bookcase, they are an important part of anyone's collection! Thanks for watching!
I used painters tape to close my comic book bags
I like using spreadsheets too. I use Excel online and include Publisher, Titlle, Issue #, Cover, Release date, cover price, price I paid, date i purchased, source/store, era/universe, read/not read.
It's a simple and effective tool that's easy to customize. Having it online and accessible with my phone anywhere is very handy. Thanks for watching!
Great video, I love your storage solutions 🎉
Thanks for watching!
My storage materials:
Bags - Comic Pro Line OPP Silver/Regular - These are clearer, thicker and less wavy than BCW bags
Boards - Comic Pro Line 28pt - That extra 4pts feels much sturdier than standard 24pt boards
Tape - Avery 5428 Multi-Use Labels - these are 1"x3/4" and come in packs of 1000
Boxes - Gemini Thick Grip Short Box - thick walls, very sturdy and the grips are close to the lids making them easier to carry
I'm going to have to look into those Avery multi-use labels. Do they peel off nicely in case they come in contact with the comic book? As well, do you get them from Amazon or at an office supply store? Thanks for watching!
@@raph-retro-comics I order them from Amazon but they are probably also at Office Depot or Staples. They are less sticky than standard scotch tape, but they are sticky enough to keep the flap down.
Great info will be watching you always
Thanks for the info Raph! Great Collection!
Thanks for the kind words and watching!
Great tips! I was just thinking of picking up some of the plastic boxes from Comic Pro line, but haven't seen anyone use them, so this was super helpful. Moving to all short boxes too. Helps my back. lol
They're quite good with the modifications I made, and they also go on sale every once in a while. Although they come in other colours, I'd stick with the white ones as the grey/blacks ones have fold lines that make the boxes look a little weird (personal preference). Thanks for watching!
@@raph-retro-comics Thanks!
Great video! Very helpful! I've been so focused on the hunt and I definitely need to organize more. Have a great weekend 👍🏼👍🏼👊👊🎃🎃
It can be a daunting task, but it's well worth the effort! Thanks for watching!
Cool tips thanks again my friend we need more videos on how to take care of your comics
Thanks for watching! I hope you find some of this information useful!
I have that Warlock run, in double😁, and triplecate😬. Same thing with Strange Tales 178 - 181, and Starlins Captain Marvel run. I can't help myself. 👍✌
I think there is something in the collector gene that makes us this way. I love Jim Starlin's stuff, particularly his run on Dreadstar in the 1980s. Thanks for watching!
New subscriber. Great tip and tricks. I did a review of contest of champions. Such a under rated series. Thanks for sharing.
It's a great series, could not have asked for a better comic book to be my first ever comic book. Thanks for watching!
Great video and info! Just subbed 👍
Thanks for watching, much appreciated!
Thank you! love the content, i just posted a youtube of my childhood collection, i need to organize them because as you can see from my youtube video, they arent in the best condition haha definitely were a kept in heat :(
That's awesome! Hope it brings back some fond memories - it looks like they were well loved!
I love Contest of Champions, but it really, really bothered me that they messed up the team point total between issues. Huge continuity mistake!
Absolutely! I mean, you have editors for that right? Even with that, I remember the series fondly, especially with all the mini profiles of all the super-heroes at the end of each issue. Thanks for watching!
