comic books ebay
would it be safe to store comic books in spacebags?

I’m thinking of buying some comics off of ebay but I’m also going to be leaving for a while so i was wondering if i could store these comics safely in spacebags for a long period of time and if so how long approximately?

Just a plastic bag? I don’t see what difference that would make, good or bad.

The comics should already be individually in polypropelene or mylar bags, with acid absorbing card board backings. After that, it doesn’t matter too much where you keep them as long as they won’t get knocked around or stepped on. Ideally, they should be kept in a cool, dry place, as moisture and heat are what ruin comics – but only over an extended period of time, like say ten years.

Ideally, they should be kept vertical, and not stacked on one another. They make standard cardboard comic boxes which are sized to hold them in a row, like a filing cabinet drawer. 99% of comic collectors use them, and any comic store in the world will sell them.

How long are you leaving for? If it’s less than a month, it really doesn’t matter.

And what comics are these exactly? If you’re paying less than a dollar per issue, the comics probably aren’t really valuable to begin with and you don’t need to worry at all about how you store or treat them.
