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!

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!

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!

Great info will be watching you always

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!

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 video!

Thanks for the info Raph! Great Collection!

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 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!

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!

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!
