      Put each comic in a mylar sleeve that covers the book like a clear envelope and has a pressed board backing to keep it straight.

    • 2

      Slide the backing into the mylar sleeve with the treated side facing front. (Backing boards are white on the treated side and gray on the untreated side.)

    • 3

      Slide the comic book into the sleeve, cover facing out.

    • 4

      Store comic books standing up in short or long comic book boxes.

    • 5

      Place the boxes where they will not be affected by sunlight, fluorescent lights, heat, humidity or smoke.
