Friday day, Friday night, Saturday morning and night and even RIGHT NOW it is STILL our archived blog posts on the Nick Fury Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. blog posts' turn to be 'Hot'!

That's because right now these archived blog posts are reaching 34% of our current blog viewership! BTW, That is almost at the highest peak of 36% of our blog readership looking for this on Saturday morning! 

Those Nick Fury posts were suddenly  'Hot'   because of the Iron Man Film that was released on Friday May 2nd 2008!

Why?

Because after ALL the credits are over, Nick Fury (featuring SAMUEL L JACKSON) is in a cameo role in a special scene with Tony Stark!

And what he tells Stark is what Marvel Fans have been waiting for... for months!

It is no longer a 'spoiler' because some persons have already posted the special scene on You Tube from hidden camera phones... so I am blogging about it now!

So You've Seen The Movie... And Now You Want To Sell Or Buy...

Comic Books!

Everytime a blockbuster comic book film like Iron Man hits the Big Screen, it seems to motivate people into either buying comic books of the superhero or thinking of digging through their closets to sell them on eBay!

In an earlier blog post I blogged about about the proper way to store your comics after you've bought them, so if and when you want to sell... then they'll be ready to do so!

Here is an excerpt from that archived blog post for you that are now motivated to do so:

In an earlier post I noted that you need to bag and board your comic books or magazines, (click here for earlier post), to store them properly. 

Then I posted what kind of backing boards to choose from depending on what you going to do with the comics or mags, keep them, get ready to sell them, etc... (click here for that post).

Thirdly I posted about what kind and size of comic book or magazine bags to use, (click here for post).

This post will be what kind of boxes will best fit your comics or mags!  Comic Book Boxes are boxes that are actually manufactured to store comic boxes! 

Most of the boxes that are manufactured for comic books storage are usually made very strong, and come with sturdy well-fitting lids and handle holes that can be left in the closed position for storing or pushed open for carrying.

Comic Book Boxes are properly sized to hold a comic in a bag with a backing board.  There are comic book boxes made for Modern Age and Silver Age Comics, and I find that Magazine Boxes are best for storing Golden Age Comics. 

Short Boxes versus Long Boxes.... Trust me on this one! I have set up at comic book conventions using both sizes.  If you have access to a handcart, long boxes are fine. If you have to wait to use a handcart, then short boxes are better for carrying out to your vehichle.  If storing your comics only and not handling them other than inserting new ones, then I would go with the short boxes.  Less weight, (less comics also), and you are less likely to get a hernia lifting boxes up and down!

There are also comic book divider cards, (used for categorizing or separating titles), that fit in comic book boxes with the lid on. These are very helpful when attempting to find the comics you have already stored to insert more issues you have just bought!

Comic book boxes are normally sold or shipped flat which takes up less storage room. The boxes will fold together when you are ready to use them without using glue or tape and are easily assembled.

The main reason for storing your comics in a properly sized box is that the box helps protect your comics from corners and edges damage.

Also, placing your comics in a comic box also protects the comic from being exposed to ultra-violet light. Would you believe that ultra-violet light causes inks to fade?!!

Comic Book boxes are made from either Corrugated Plastic or Corrugated Cardboard. They come in several different lengths for your various storage/display needs.  I have used both, and find that cardboard are fine for storage and less money for our current purposes, which is storing comics in short boxes to pick and pull for comic book sales orders.

However, using corrugated plastic comic boxes could be an excellent choice for long-term comic storage for the collector because the material is normally acid-free, mostly water proof, probably vermin resistant and definitely strong to place more boxes on top.

A note about acid-free boxes. Comic storage boxes do not need to be acid-free IF you have your comics in bags already!

This post is the END of our Blog Posts on how to bag, board, and store your comic book (and magazine) collectibles.  If you have any questions, feel free to post your question below, or if comments option is off, email us by clicking on any of our eBay listings! .
