GET RID of STICKY TAPE!

For years collectors have carefully bagged and boarded their precious comic books to keep them safe and then they have sealed the bags with sticky tape. How unwise is that? For a start, people don't know how well the sticky side will perform over time - it could deteriorate fast and leave no grip, or it could end up so super-sticky that you can't reopen the bags without tearing them. Even in the best case where the tape keeps in decent condition and peels easily, there is always the massive RISK that it might catch onto a part of the comic and cause irreparable damage.

Oh yeah, and when you handle tape it can put gum on your fingers that'll end up putting heavy fingerprints on the comic. Why chance it? Get rid of that tape and simply fold the top flap of the bag in behind the board or comic and file it away without the worry of what booby-trap may lie in wait in the future when you go back to look at that favourite comic again! After all, you might want to sell your collection one day and the better it looks and the easier to handle, the more attractive it will be to the most likely buyers - comic dealers.
