A Little About Comic Book Storage BagsWritten by AAA-Collectables
Continued from page 1 Mylar is considered to be most archivally sound and is choice of most museums and archivists as it has longest shelf life of three materials. BUT, Every day comic collectors can feel comfortable using polyethylene comic bags or polypropylene comic bags. Most comic book bags come with a fold over flap that can be taped on outside of bag along with certain varieties of comic book bags that feature a reseal tape on body of bag (vs. flap), so tape doesn't catch on comic and cause damage to comic. Just remember that with comic books, as with any type colletable, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place free from sunlight, dust, oils, and everyday exposure. This will ensure a long and enjoyable collecting hobby for what ever you collect. Brought To You Courtesy Of:AAA-Collectables
