I'm about to move out of my parent's house and into an apartment, and I started packing and came across my father's old comic book collection. I have them in a large document box but they're actually smaller than the box, and its wasting space.
My question is - what would be the best way to keep these relics of the 60's together, safe, and in a compact space? Are there any storage devices specifically for comics that a college kid can afford?
Container Store has archival boxes and other archival storage. Do you want to keep them? Or sell them? Some of those comic books may be worth a lot of money.
Here's a link to a free price guide.
Nightshade, here is a link that discusses comic book care.
Go down to your local comic book store and buy a comic book sized box, and if they're not already bagged and boarded, ask for some archival-quality bags and boards. http://www.comicshoplocator.com/ should help you find a store near you, and any store worth your money should have a clerk that's willing to help you out.
The last time I needed a long box for my comics, it cost less than five bucks.
bagsunlimited.com has all the best storage stuff

the comic boxes are fitted to suit and quite cheap considering you are trying to preserve their value.
your local comic shop may also have some of these boxes to sell you.
they take up a little over half the space of a banker box.
