The Proper Use of Comic Book Supplies will help you Maintain a Top-Notch Collection   by Dave Gieber



If you want to keep your comic book collection in tiptop


shape, comic book supplies will become part of your


collecting life. As soon as a magazine is printed there are


natural environmental forces going to work to try and


destroy the ink and the paper. You have put in a lot of


time, effort and enjoyment in acquiring all your comics.


You don`t want them to turn back to the dust and elements


from which they came do you? So the proper use of comic


book supplies is essential.

Elements such as humidity, temperature, pollutants, human


skin oils and even the chemicals of the printed materials


themselves, will start to deteriorate and discolor your


comic books from day one. Comic book supplies and tools


that have been developed over the years to help us combat


these natural forces are de-acidification paper, polymer


type storage bags, stiff backing material, storage boxes


and desiccants (dehumidification materials). Not only will


these comic book supplies protect your comics for your own


enjoyment, they will add to reinforce the future value of


each comic book.

Most all of these comic book supplies can typically be


located down at your local comic book shop. But as I have


discovered lately, there can be a world of difference in


preservation abilities depending on what materials are used


in the manufacture of comic book supplies. Quite typically


what you may find downtown will be of sufficient protective


quality to protect your comics for quite a while. Although,


polybags, to put your comics into, are quite common and


fairly cheap, Mylar bags are definitely the way to go. They


will protect for 100 years (that may be a little overboard)


as opposed to 2 or 3 years for poly.

There has been a lot of elaborate science, particularly


chemistry, which has gone into comic book supplies


preservation material manufacturing the last several years.


MicroChamber material has been developed that will increase


preservation from de-acidification and environmental


breakdown for a vastly superior time period as opposed to


typical comic book supplies materials available today.


Beware though, comic book supplies manufactured with this


new material can become quite costly. But if you have some


serious collector`s items, which you feel are worth a


significant amount of cash, isn`t the investment worth it?


It is also no secret that CGC uses these comic book


supplies materials in every comic book they grade.

I have created a page at my comic book site, which


incorporates links to some rather technical scientific


articles on preservation and using MicroChamber materials.


You can read an in-depth discussion at

www.comic-book-collection-made-easy.com/comic-book-supplies.html .

Be forewarned though, You may need a moderate understanding


of chemistry and physics to completely follow some of the


discussions. But the articles will open your eyes to what


is available in the comic book industry for comic book


supplies preservation supplies these days.

Now if you have a rather rare back issue that may well have


a high dollar value, here is a process worth considering.


De-acidification products are usually used to neutralize


acids in the paper prior to storage of most paper products


of a pulp nature. This is not to be taken lightly, as it is


considered by most to be an extensive form of restoration.


The current understanding of the process is that the


staples are removed and the sheets are submerged, film


developer style, in a bath of de-acidification material.


Then the entire book is rebuilt with new staples. This


process can cost around $50 per comic book, when done by a


professional, but will restore and increase the life


expectancy of your comic book by many years. This process,


in my opinion, should only be considered for already


deteriorated comics that may have a considerable future


worth if restored.

One final item to consider, especially if you live in a


high humidity area is the use of descants as part of your


comic book supplies arsenal. A desiccant is a chemical


sieve for water, and is available for industry use in small


packets or in buckets. For our purposes an 8-oz can (that


looks like you`d keep a grasshopper in) can be simply put


inside the box to absorb moisture and indicates when it is


full by changing from crystal colored to pink. These same


cans can then be reused by baking them for 3-4 hours in an


oven at about 350 F. Each canister can cost around $9-$10


from one supplier called GAYLORDMART. 1 canister per short


box and 2 per long box should be sufficient. Another


consideration is the little packets typically found in a


box of shoes. These are even more inexpensive, but would


require further research to insure no harm would come to


each comic book.

So as you build your valuable comic book collection, you


will want to put some serious consideration into the comic


book supplies that you will need. Materials and supplier


source will become important variables in your overall


decisions. I will have more interesting topics and sources


from time to time at my site, so come on over and visit.


You may even want to bookmark it.
