Nice thread About that paper coloring. I always have suspected that comic books glossy covers are acidic papers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is something I've never understood with regard to comic book preservation. Since comics (especially the older ones) are not printed on acid-free paper, how does putting them in mylar bags protect them? The acid is already there. And yet there are SA and even GA comics with white pages and in 9.0+ condition. What keeps the acidic paper from becoming yellow and brittle? (I've often thought it might be an interesting idea to bag comics with a pinch of baking soda to increase the pH, but I'd be afraid to experiment with my comics.)

Well, I think it is usually heat that causes the pages to become yellow/brown/brittle, not just the acid, due to improper storage in a garage/attic/etc. I would imagine the mylar is more to keep contaminants from the air away from the comic book, and also to provide an inert surface for the comic to rest against. ganni and tvindy 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chillax23 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 With the huge run-up price wise in GSXM1 - is X-Men 94 primed for a run-up as well? While I understand and agree that GSXM1 is the more important book containing the sought after 1st appearances - there was a time when these books were equally priced, now it seems that X-Men 94 is 1/4 the price in some grades (which seems crazy).

Absolutely. Similar to Hulk 180, this will eventually spike since most GSX1s needs their X94 counterparts. Plus, first Claremont... the genius that defined X-men for me.... before him... the stories were pretty much trash... Sorry Stan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its already shown serious movement in 9.6. I'm not sure about the other grades but 9.6 has shot way up with the last two auctions. Maybe 9.4 from the little I've seen. 9.8s don't sell that often otherwise I'm sure it would of shot up as well. #100 has been hot and possibly 101.
