I am a firm believer in always having more comic book storage supplies than you currently need. I always have one empty short box I am not using, extra bags and boards waiting to be used, and extra tape. You never know when you will need them.
You Never Know
I was driving down Gratiot with my family one day and saw that a vacant shop had temporarily been turned into an estate sale. There were tons of antiques which I passed by, but my eyes caught a table with comics on it. While there were not many, my $8.00 purchase was for a few hundred dollars in comics. If I did not have extra comic book storage supplies, something might have happened to these issues between the purchase and when I could get to a store to purchase protection.
There have been times I have been called on the fly by friends and family about garage sales with comics. These instances can come up at any time, and I do not want to be caught with my pants down without enough supplies.
Not All Comic Book Stores are the Same
If you have been into Wonderworld Comics, you know that all of our comics are bagged and boarded. Most comic book stores do not do this. Since I travel around to various stores to see what they sell to improve my collection, I need extra comic book storage supplies on hand at all times.
What Could Happen?
If you do not have enough comic book storage supplies around the house, something could happen to your newly-purchased comics. Life happens. Stacks get knocked over. Drinks get spilled. Kids get excited and grab. These are some of the events comic book storage supplies attempt to protect you from. If you have been collecting for a long time, you can count at least a dozen times when you waited too long to protect your comics.
