I finally switched from a cardboard box to a real comic bin for my collection

Honestly, I kept my floppies in a big cardboard box for years, thinking it was fine. Then I got a BCW short comic bin for about 25 bucks and the difference is huge. The plastic bin keeps them way more flat and safe from dust, and it's way easier to flip through without bending corners. Has anyone else made a simple storage switch that made a big difference?

Honestly the plastic bins feel like a waste of money. Cardboard is fine if you're not throwing your collection down the stairs. My old long boxes have kept books safe for a decade, no warping. @dylan_green58 has the right idea, free boxes get the job done. People act like a little dust is the end of the world, but it's just comics. Spending cash on fancy storage is for people who care more about the bin than what's inside it.

Cardboard boxes work just fine if you ask me.

Right? I've moved apartments twice using nothing but free boxes from the grocery store.
