A thread to share any clever hacks people have to storing, shipping or even transporting comics. I have a few to share.

I’ve been picking up boxes like this at BJs and Costco. They’re thick cardboard, reinforced, have side handles and a divider down the middle. Wide enough for most comics.
They typically come with extra inserts that can be removed and cut to size for shipping comic too.
4 pieces plus a standard comic is less than 11 oz. Can wrap with plastic or paper and keep final weight under 12 oz.

Different box design, same idea.
I obviously would not store long term because if the acidity, but this works for me short term until I find their rightful place in short boxes or sell them.

I actually commented on that threat stating I was concerned about the stability of the tower of comics behind him, lol.
He does know better. I’m sure that was a temporary situation. His comics are in his basement, and he’s had some flood warnings in recent months and has had to scramble a bit.

Those poor books 1 → 50 at the front of the box (or the bottom of the box in this example…lol)
It’s like a new way of pressing books 
I sure aint buying any of those 1st 50 books… lol
My little one is still in diapers so I found another use for the empty boxes of baby wipes. Costco brand if anyone wants to try them out.

No more babies for me…
I always use diaper boxes as comic boxes as well! Whenever I’m selling dollar books at a show with a little table I have my, “Dollar Bin Diaper Boxes,” and people recognize me for them!
