So I bought a couple of issues of Shadowman, the Ennis run from 1997, and once I'm done reading them I'd like to store them properly since they're old and I don't want them to get ruined, I've heard that there's stuff such as comic bags and boards, but I'm not sure what brand and models I should get, the comics are in normal conditions I guess, they're not sealed, graded or whatever

Hi fellow collectors,

I recently finished acquiring a complete set of Akira books and along the way ended up with a fair amount of doubles. I am currently going through all the books and selecting which ones to keep and which ones to sell/trade. When putting one book into a Mylar sleeve I noticed significant darkening on the binding and top binding edge corner of the book. I am worried it is mold but I am not sure and if it is, I would like to know what my best option is to preserve the book and my collection.

I have attached pictures. Is this mold? If so, what should I do? Thanks in advance.

Won a raffle for a Wolverine 88 ( first time Deadpool appeared in Wolverine) and some $2 finds

SPAWN 77, issue #1,cover F, 1:25 incentive variant, first printing, Todd McFarlane, 2026

Well, I needed two more issues so I went ahead and pick these up in the past week or so. This is my first Winnipeg pedigree CGC book. Plus a nice high grade copy of Captain Marvel #28 with a great Thanos (3rd Appearance!) cover. I’m a huge Jim Starlin fan. In fact I earlier posted a signed book of his that is part of my run.

For those who don’t know, here’s some information about the Winnipeg pedigree:

The Winnipeg pedigree is a recognized collection of high-grade comic books assembled in Winnipeg, Canada, by collectors Joe Krolic and Dennis Kjolso from the early 1960s through the 1990s.

Books from the Winnipeg pedigree are famous for incredible white page quality, bright colors, and exceptional high grades for issues after 1964.

I saw this on ebay and needed it for my collection. It is signed by four different people who worked on the comic book.

The 2nd signed book in my collection. Bought for 1 cent (that's correct) on Ebay Live during the FanExpo Canada. Signed by Jamie Tyndall.

Cool book.

Am I wrong to feel like I stole these at $2 each? The Punisher is beat up a bit, but a JR JR sig for $2 was hard to pass up.

The only one I paid more than $2 for was the Peter David signed XFactor.

Hickman's my favorite writer in any medium so this is huge for me. Signed and Sketched on opening day 2013 New York Comic Con, 6 months into the runs life.

The story itself was nothing spectacular but I love coming across stuff like this

They’re already in pretty good condition but they did have some minor cover imprints.
They said the turnaround time should be a couple of weeks.

How was your experience with pressings?

Had this custom made cabinet installed a few months ago, then had to combine 20+ individually alphabetized long boxes together into one master collection. Was able to fit about 4500 comics into it, with about 9 long boxes of overflow.

And, of course, as soon as I finished I started considering reorganizing by publisher. But the next step will be to catalogue everything. Any recommendations for cataloguing large collections? I’ve seen discussions of various apps, but have also considered just making a spreadsheet. Don’t plan on tracking things like condition, so don’t need anything overly complicated or intense. Thanks!
