Best Way to store G1 Boxes

[Skullcruncher]

Hi, just wondering for all the other G1 collectors - how do you store your boxes?

I have a couple in the display cabniet, more in drawers and more in boxes. Best to store them in other boxes or plastic containers? Or even fold them down?

Cheers

I myself only have 2 so I leave them un-flattened in my cupboard, i.e a dry & dust free (bout the only place in my room that is) environment.

Being that they are made of really destructible materials it would probably be ideal to store them in a display case, so long as you have access to one, to prevent moisture, dust and insects from wrecking them.

I reckon if you've got a lot of G1 boxes that to save on storage space, one might be inclined to flatten them out but I'd be concerned that I might run a risk of damaging them if un-careful.

A very interesting question, I wonder what others think?

I store the boxes in a cupboard and flatten them out. I find that they keep their shape better and there is little risk of getting a flap crease.

With cardbacks, I buy clear plastic sleeves from Big W (the hard plastic ones that restaurants use for menus).

Just out of interest, has anyone experimented with laminating card backs and/or tech specs?, Pros vs. Cons?

I keep most of my packaging in my TF room's wardrobe, with others spattered about the room like shoved between or under shelves. I'm thinking about getting rid of a lot of my boxes though as I just need more space for toys. I already did a massive box purge in 2005 where for months I was chucking out boxes after boxes in the recycling bin.

If you're considering chucking out any vintage boxes, please let me know as I'll be waiting by your bin
