I’ve been thinking about storing my bagged and boarded comics In a clear plastic bin, but I have sone questions: 1. can any plastic bin be used (just a standard bin from Walmart) 2. I live in a non air conditioned house with humidity around 60% or higher and high fluctuations in temperature (Ohio) 3. some comics smell musty through the plastic sleeves, should I store those separately or are they safe to put with the rest in the plastic bin?

what would be a good alternative to s long/short box? This is what I'm using at the moment but as you can see, the front and back aren't staying straight. I tried putting in a piece of cardboard but that only helped slightly. Any ideas? By the way, this is a continuation of sorts to my old post https://www.cgccomics.com/boards/topic/391310-protecting-books-made-with-different-materials-plastic-storage/

i've gotten them from a bunch of different sources. a friend in Japan, online stores, LiveJournal Doujinshi Community, ebay, and Cleveland Comic Con (they actually had a table for doujinshi! anyways, here's a link to a topic i started asking about how best to protect these books, with a couple pics. http://boards.collectors-society.com/ubbthreads.php?ubb=showflat&Number=9314526 and an interesting fact, Ninja Turtles is very popular in Japan. There are even TMNT doujinshi here's an example of one of my Naruto doujinshi featuring my favorite character, Kakashi

hello, i'm Suzie, but i go by Rika24 and Rikafire online. i started collecting when i got back into the Ninja Turtles through the 2003 cartoon. i wanted to know where the series really started (because it wasn't until that time that i found out TMNT started as a comic). So i went on a comic hunt and found out that i live within a short drive or even walking distance of not one, not two, but FIVE comic book shops. one of which has been around for over 30 years (which also happens to be within walking distance.) It was at this comic shop that i found the Leonardo #1 Micro issue, my very first comic book (Leo is my favorite turtle, and the issue was published the year i was born too, so bonus). anyways, i started tracking down different issues and eventually found the ones i fell in love with... the City at War arc. i managed to track down all but the first two issues of that arc, and i am proud of it. from there i branched out to Usagi Yojimbo, Beasts of Burden, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Currently i'm collecting Japanese fan made comics called doujinshi. which can be incredibly rare as some are made by hand, while others are printed in low quantities of only 300-600 books. for those i collect Digimon, Naruto, and Fullmetal Alchemist, with Naruto taking up the majority. here is my comic collection (needs updating, but still something i'm proud of) - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Volume 1 - Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles City At War Arc - TMNT Vols 2 and 4 Collection - Tales of the TMNT Pt 1 - Tales of the TMNT Pt 2 - TMNT Mini Series 1 - TMNT Mini Series 2 - Usagi Yojimbo - Buffy the Vampire Slayer 1 - Buffy the Vampire Slayer 2
