How To Fix A Crumpled Seal?

1. Place the comic book on a sturdy board, then insert both the board and the comic book into a protective bag. By ensuring that the board is partially visible at the bottom, you minimize the risk of the corners and cover of the comic being damaged by sliding against the bag.

2. Seal the comic book from within to prevent it from slipping out. There are two common methods for achieving this: either fold the flap inside, behind the board, or attach tape to the back. Note that those who fold their comic books may worry about reopening them without damaging the tape, while those who opt for tape ensure a complete and secure seal. Whichever method you choose, make sure to press out as much air as possible when closing the bag to prevent further deterioration.

3. Take additional measures to secure your comic book. Once it is placed in a bag and board, find a warm, dry place inside your home with a relatively low temperature. Moisture, heat, and light can all pose risks to your comic book, so choose the storage location wisely. Many people prefer using a comic book box, such as the Comix Armor: Book Boxes, for storing their precious collections.

By following these step-by-step instructions, you can restore the integrity of a crumpled seal on your comic book and ensure its safety and preservation for years to come.
