Pro tip: a guy at my comic shop in Cleveland told me to stop bagging and boarding everything, and he was right
For about 6 years I bagged and boarded every single issue I bought, even dollar bin stuff. Then the owner of my local shop in Cleveland asked why I was doing that to reader copies, and told me I was wasting money and making it harder to actually read them. Now I only bag the keys, and I've got a short box of 30 or so that I just flip through whenever I want. Does anyone else keep a stack of raw readers on purpose, or is that just me?
