  This. Channel. Needs. More. Views. And. Subs!  I'm upset with myself that I haven't watched more of your content since finding your channel a few months ago, but I'm happy this one caught my attention in my subscription feed. THIS is the audio, video, and production quality I want to see in my YouTube comic content!

  I’ve just started collecting about 2 months ago, I’ve been trying to build an inventory to sell comics online but also keep the books I love!

  BCW Plastic short & long boxes for me!  Better protection and easy way n the eyes.

  Regarding the topic at hand, I'm a fan of BCW's bags and boards for most of my collection, however I've been working to move all of my keys and higher-value, non-graded books to E. Gerber Mylites2s and their half-back boards. I store them all across a mix of longs, shorts, and some of those black plastic boxes from BCW as well. I'll have to check out those clear boards - didn't realize there was more than one brand of those out there now.

  I started using only the poly blend boxes because I feel the cardboard boxes make the room look junky

  What an informative channel! I'm setting up my comic book room after falling back in live with comics again, (after 15 years). This channel will be a goldmine to help with that. Thank you!

  Thanks for the recomendations, I didn't expected the clear backing boards. I feel the storing side of our collections as an important part of the hobby, an added pleasure to it.

  If you are a reseller I can imagine the resealable bags being advantageous because you grade them then put them in the bag to sell and don’t have to open the bag again. <br>As a collector that likes to take my books out often, I can’t stand the resealable. I often place the bag down, forget the sticky side is up and place a raw comic on top of the strip. I’ve had the finish pull off of my table from those strips as well. I prefer painters tape because it’s easily removed and placed to the side and I can also use the tape to write the grade, significance, etc. on it.<br><br>I really appreciate tips and tricks videos, they are very helpful to us all. Thanks for sharing!

  Great stuff! I didn&apos;t know about those clear backer boards, what a great option. &nbsp;For my collecting style, having a fairly tight focus, I&apos;m of the mindset that if a book is worth having in my collection then it&apos;s worthy of either getting slabbed or being bagged and toploaded. I also put resealable &quot;graded&quot; sized bags over my toploaders to keep dust and other particles from getting in.
