battle for space
Mar. 21st, 2012 12:16 amOne of the problems of having a lot of comic books is that you have a lot of comic books and eventually you have to find somewhere to put them. So you get boxes and shelves and eventually the boxes fill up and you don't have anywhere else to put new boxes or to put shelves to put new boxes in. We're not at that point yet, but we're on our way. OR ARE WE.
Usually when you buy comics these days from shops or at a convention they're in bags, and the bags have boards in them to prevent spine slippage or creases or folds or whatever. And that's great for old comics, they're getting on in years and need the help. But for comics that aren't so old, say, 1970 or newer, do they really need the boards? How much space do those boards really take up? This much.
That is about twelve inches of space that was occupied by backing boards. That's a lot of space, especially when space is at a premium. So if you're facing our space problem, ask yourself - how many of your comics REALLY need backing boards?
And another question. Anybody need any backing boards? We've got some extras.
