> What can I do?  What do YOU do to keep your comics safe,
> yet there?

I have only about 300 comics at the moment, mostly the popular
Marvel lines. I keep them next to my bed in my dorm (they
make *excellent* bedtime reading) so that they are easily
accessible to read or to copy art from.  They are all in
little plastic bags with the flaps folded inside but not taped
shut (except for my duplicates, few as they are).  I find them
very accessible and, because of my over-enthusiastic organizing
system, easy to keep track of; I have tabbed index dividers
separating them by title and, once I get another box for the,
possibly by groups of 25 or so.  What I wonder about is the
light damage, since I rarely if ever put the box lid on them
because I am always reading one or another of them.  Does
anyone out there know what sort of light damage this might do
and how soon/how badly it will show up?

Books are meant to be loved, handled and thrown across the
room; comics I take a bit more care of due to the fragility
factor. 

Another thing: Are mylar snuggies really worth it?  Someone
recommended them to me recently, and then someone else said
(they being 10x as expensive as the regular 3-mil ones) that
they would put their Spiderman 1-30 in them but package all
others in 3-mil bags.  Any comments?
