I am still a little sad now and then about selling my collection, but I am not upset to not have to move another freakin' longbox again. I am in the same place. Sold my 40 years of books when I was moving. I miss them at times.

It's amazing stuff. If you have access to Hoopla through your public library ( I am not sure where you are located so no clue if it is a possibility for you), all three volumes are there, so you can check them out while the world is on pause and then pick up physical copies after we're on the other side of it all. -M

Those are intriguing... I tried the sleeves for long boxes, and those stopped working after being 3 high. How stackable are they? (I'd like them to be about 7 or 8 high) BCW's site says its safe to stack them up to 6 high. They say that about the sleeves too, which fail after 3 high.. that's not a great sign

I doubt I'd go over 3 high anyway....you have to unstack them to get to the one below and I'm too lazy.
I'm using one such BCW bin to keep about 140 variants safe...now I know where all my Quesada 100:1 covers are....

I used to shop at a used bookstore (30 years ago) that had an interesting, but effective storage system for their comics: actual metal filing cabinets. They could stack two rows inside each drawer and it was solid. Made browsing easy, unless more than one person was trying to look at books in the came cabinet. One of my lottery fantasies was to have my comics filed in high end filing cabinets, for easy access. They would be in a separate room of the library, which would be all Victorian, with wood panels and shelves, brass rails with the sliding ladder, a circular staircase to the upper level, leather wing chairs and chesterfield sofa, and the wall sections that would open up to access the secret passages. Oh, and the one that opens to reveal the batpoles to the basement, which would be decorated to be a forced perspective of the tv show Batcave. Now all I need is the winning ticket to build it!

I have always just put comics in dresser drawers, old steamer trunks, apple boxes, book selves... stacked neatly. I still have never paid anything for a comic box. Any old or valuable comics are stacked flat in bags even on bookshelves (not upright). I have stacks of music and other magazines too, and stacks of books (though some books have gone upright in bookcases, and then many are flat in the very same bookcase) Those specialized comic boxes have never appealed to me. You crazy vertical people are weird, horizontal is the way nature intends! Okay, vinyl records I do have upright, in old imperial sized milk crates, but also many of those are just stacked (ran out of milk crates), and the 7" 45s always are.

As the post-Crisis Earth is a composite of Earths 1, 2, 4, S, & X, I've long wondered which Earth(s) Byrne's Luthor and Krypton originally hailed from. Certainly Not Earth-1 or 2. Probably not Earth-S. Earth-4? I can see that universe being home to a billionaire Luthor. Earth-X? Byrne's cold, antiseptic Krypton wouldn't be out of place there.

Thumbing through CoIE #11 as the heroes exposit the post-Crisis world, I see comments that (1) there were thousands of worlds combined into one, and (2) the existing places (and people?) are composites of elements drawn from the previous panoply of universes. The Luthor of this new world is in prison and does not appear to be a billionaire.

I've still got loads of comics packed that way in dresser drawers, especially all my Archies from the bronze age. As a bonus, they're packed with perfume & bath and bodyworks so they smell great too.
And I also made good use of 4 fridges from the 90s that are no longer in use...they keep comics safe too.

Like others have said, prime material here.
I can't imagine anyone not liking this.
