19½ long boxes...nice sized collection. :) Which company would you say you have more books from? I grew up a DC guy so I'd say over half my collection is DC books (probably a 60% if I had to guess).
I've been trying to replace my boxes before having to resort to using tape. I wish I could get the hard plastic ones but those are running like $30 apiece...too rich for my blood. :o

I'm at around 5500 issues, according to my software. Mostly DC and Marvel, both. Early 90s to current. But with the current, I have been leaning way more to the DC side. (Not liking a lot of what Marvel is doing lately.) I also have a little bit of other licensed stuff (Horror, Sci-fi, Gaming), early Image stuff, Conan, and Star Trek sprinkled through-out.

And those graphic novels, i didnt know you had those, but what/who are they?

Thanks. I like the space. Not the temperature in summer. Should have that worked out after the next tax-return, though.
Mostly Marvel and DC graphic novels. And not a whole lot of graphic novels. Most of my comic collection is the old floppies, in those old beat-up longboxes. A lot of those books you see are sci-fi novels and stuff like Marvel Encyclopedias, or Movie Hound Guides. I also have a row up top of Star Trek novels.

Ok, still Marvel and DC stuff. I thought you might have some other graphic novels.

I swapped all of my regular boxes out for Drawer Boxes from the Collection Drawer Company. Makes it really easy to get to everything, especially issues in the boxes at the bottom of the stack. They run a bit over $10 each in packs of five.
I'd also recommend setting the bottom row up on some 1x2 or 2x4 wood blocks/strips in case there's a leak. I had the pan for my hot water tank leak and it took out my entire bottom row of boxes. Thankfully I had everything bagged and boarded so I didn't lose any comics.

The wood blocks are a great idea, thanks!
And if you look, almost all of those are drawer boxes, except a few on top (in front).

New member, first post.
Lots of great collections here. I've been gaming for over 30 yrs and I'm looking forward to learning some stuff as I actively "start" my collection.
