You know what doesn't have those problems? That picture is frightening. I can see a slabolanche easily happening. Solid cherry shelving, baby. No particle board within a quarter mile.

You made your neighbors take out all of theirs, too...? I'm thinking more along the lines of "spillage"... JJ-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know what doesn't have those problems? The new slabs don't have those problems stacked flat based on how hard it is to actually crack one open. I would be curious to know if CGC tested them to see how much pressure it would take to actually crack one of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kimik Posted December 11, 2019 Share Posted December 11, 2019 That would be from impact damage (dropped on a corner?) rather than stacking. As long as you only stack the books flat 20 high on a shelf you should be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shark Posted December 12, 2019 Author Share Posted December 12, 2019 8 hours ago, RockMyAmadeus said: You want to be able to access them without having to move stacks of boxes around...? Yes, and I want to pull open a drawer and see the top of each slab in nice neat columns. Just like in the CGC boxes but without the boxes. Lateral file cabinets would satisfy that requirement if only the drawers were much taller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin.J Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 I have had my comics in filing cabinets for years, never found any cabinets that could do a decent job for slabs Sturdy bookshelves are the way to go, I have 21 cabinets and 3 bookshelves and a creaking ceiling Sorry about the poor photo quality, its from years ago, I really need to take some fresh ones badback83, Krismusic and ADAMANTIUM 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use those as well.. they are great you can also tilt them on the side on a shelf so you then close the door on them as well pretty good boxes Ladic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shark Posted May 23, 2020 Author Share Posted May 23, 2020 I was talking to my neighbor the other day and it ends up his dad is a cabinet maker. I showed them a few slabs and the video of the cabinet the guy on Facebook made. His dad said he didn't need a build plan and could make one just like it for me. Should be getting a quote from them shortly. I'll keep you guys informed if I have one built. DavidTheDavid and ADAMANTIUM 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Each 5-drawer cabinet would only hold 50 slabs. I would need 8 of those just to cover what I currently have. I'm sticking with 15-drawer wood cabinet style.
