Checking to see how everyone is storing their comics. I have all format comics/magazine/mini-comics I’m struggling with how best to store. I know bag+board is the go to solution, but hate how it feels when they’re that way in the longboxes. Feel sealed away and never want to pull out a series again.
What’s everyone’s solution and if you have pics, always welcome 😎

Twitter user @fujichia blew my mind 2 years ago when they shared that they store their minis in a big 3 ring binder. I totally forgot about it until you made this thread, I think it's a great idea.   |

It really seems like there should be some kind of widely-available box that would function perfectly as a longbox for digest-sized minis. Let me know if you know of one.

for minis I keep a note in my phone for the dimensions of little boxes like this and grab them whenever i see them at thrift stores, antique shops, yard sales, etc.

It's true, I use binders too. A reasonable balance between accessible vs well-stored, I think?
That is until several years pass and you don't keep up with filling the binders, let alone keeping them organized, and suddenly longboxes seem like a much more attractive solution.

 Floor binders? Magazine bags & boards on all (to make flipping easy), then find boxes that fit -- mostly beer/wine cases, a couple from other things. Fill the boxes as I read stuff, favorites in front (easy to revisit), least fave in back (easy to grab to give away & make space). Don't ask what happens when I run out of floor space (v soon lol), as I also don't have shelf space (hence floor binders). |
