Putting your comic in a properly sized comic book bag not onlykeeps dust, dirt and finger oils off the comic book surface, buthelps prevent scuffing which can bring down the value of a comicbook considerably. The three most popular comic bag materialsare polyethylene, polypropylene and Mylar. New Comic Bags,Regular Comic Bags, Dell & Silver Age Comic Bags and Golden AgeComic Bags as well as Treasury Comic Bags all are available inall three of these materials. All three materials are consideredto be ARCHIVAL - Meaning that there is nothing in thecomposition of the material that can contribute to the breakdownor destruction of

the comic book being stored in it. Mylar isconsidered to be the most archivally sound and is the choice ofmost museums and archivists as it has the longest shelf life ofthe three materials. BUT, Every day comic collectors can feelcomfortable using polyethylene comic bags or polypropylene comicbags. Most comic book bags come with a fold over flap that canbe taped on the outside of the bag along with certain varietiesof comic book bags that feature a reseal tape on the body of thebag (vs. the flap), so the tape doesn't catch on the comic andcause damage to the comic.

Just remember that with comic books, as with any typecolletable, be sure to store it in a cool, dry place free fromsunlight, dust, oils, and everyday exposure. This will ensure along and enjoyable collecting hobby for what ever you collect.
