For a little less than $1 a book I know I have top rate protection.

UV is the ultra violet spectrum of light.

It has destructive properties to damn near everything (paper, paint, humans, plastics, etc...) and its the main component in light that degrades comic books.

In order to avoid having your comics bleached over time by the UV that bounces around the room (assuming you have outside windows in the room), you need to put the comics into a bag or case that blocks the UV.

Mylites are the best brand of that type of product:

You also want to use acid free boards:

And you want to make sure that you choose BOTH your bags and boards by the era/size of your comics. Believe it or not, comics have been printed in various sizes over the years, with various eras of comics like "the silver era" or "the gold era" being different sizes.

Here is more info on that:

If you have any other questions, let em rip.

I store all my stuff in mylar bags and longboxes. Comics on display go in either mylite4 covers, or they are encased/slabbed and graded by CGC. CGC's cases are UV blocking just like a Mylite2 or Mylite4.

Here is a test done with CGC cases, one year of sun exposure:

You can tell the comic looks perfect still.

If you leave a comic in a normal bag in the sun for a year, its going to be super bleached.
