I believe this is the line.

There are different variations of the book so you'll want to compare pictures.

If it's the Whitman variant, you can see that one here.

I have been thinking of trying this out... acid free and plastic and 6 high stack-able. Thought do to the way put together do not know how well it would protect against water. https://www.bcwsupplies.com/short-comic-book-bin

From what I've seen, those boxes are really nice, but I'm having a hard time justifying the cost. Based on their construction I would say they are not "waterproof". They are sold flat-packed and you snap all the sides together which tells me the edges/corners are not sealed in any way. But, the one big advantage they would have over cardboard is that they will not absorb water and break down over time. I guess you could call them kinda "water resistant".



I have a combination of cardboard boxes using the bcw comic house for stability along with the BCW bins. With the cost of cardboard still going up, the bins seem to be a better value if you can get them in the $20-25 range per box (Amazon has a 5 pack for $129.99) as opposedto the box/house option. .

I have used DCBS for 5 years and for the most part, been very satisfied with them. Www.dcbservice.com. Shipping is a flat $7.50 regardless of weight/qty.

Hi, it seems this book is listed twice. Once under Dark Empire Preview and then under the Dark Empire section of TPB.


Star Wars: Dark Empire Preview #1 Values and Pricing | Dark Horse Comics | The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com)


Star Wars: Dark Empire #PREVIEW Trade Paper Back Values and Pricing | Dark Horse Comics | The Comic Price Guide (comicspriceguide.com)

I think the TPB one should come out if you agree.

Thanks

When I requested this be added, I may have goofed up in the text description. This should be the foil variant instead of the "virgin" variant as RI-A is that cover.

Dear Basement (*EEIG)

ASM are skyrocketing.
saw Jimmy Olsen drop but auction prices are very high?


Hey Ruk,

Batman New 52 issues, Batman Jim Lee issues (600's), Superman Doomsday intro/cameo in Man of Steel.

Seems I need to see quite a few books start to go up to make up for these drops.

I buy BCW Current THICK bags as they seem to accommodate most current books, annuals and giant size. For TPB and smaller hard covers, I'll use either silver or golden age depending on the thickness.
