They have lots of storage and protection options. Favorite Quote: "You're not just some guy in a bat costume are you?

dennedr Collector in Training Location: ROCKFORD, IL Posts: 9 My Collection	Posted: July 18, 2008 4:56:06 pm Thank you. At one time I thought they made something, but I have been out of collecting for a while and couldn't remember.

Since I have a lot of limited series it would be a good way to organize stuff and if I wanted to read the series or lend it to someone I would just grab the binder. Only thing I am afraid of is if it might cause bending of the comic or something if the proper binder is not used. Any suggestions would be good.

I don't think spine roll would be that much of an issue if I still kept them in the bags with the boards.

Especially if the top loader has a seal flap, and you can board it. Favorite Quote: "You're not just some guy in a bat costume are you?

He had 100s of these from floor to ceiling like a library. It's not the most cost effective way to store comics if you have a large collection. But for some smaller more expensive books it would be ok I guess. Still doesn't sway me away from file cabinets. Catch me on Facebook
