How to keep Comic Books in Good Condition

I will be talking about Marvel comics more but if you are to start collecting comics you are going to need to know how to keep them in good condition so that they don`t deteriorate.
How to keep Comic Books in Good Condition:
1. Wash your hands with soap and water before handling your comic books
2. Keep all comics in a proper bag and board
  • Mylar sleeves are preferred to be used to contain comics
  • Acid Free boarding should be used as it doesn't cause extra wear and deterioration on the comic
3. Get your comics organized and put in a comic book box
4. Keep the boxes in a cool, dry, and dark location where humidity and temperature don't change
5. Check on them about every two months
6. Good, older books should be professionally graded by well-known respected companies
