Should I feel bad that keep all my comics in non-bagged yellowing piles in a cupboard?

I've only in the last year or so started properly bagging and boxing my comics. Mostly just to keep them from getting more beat up than they already are.

Plus I find that long boxes, when stacked, have less of a tendency to collapse and crush their contents than do other types of cardboard boxes.

i opted for bookshelves years ago, definitely the best option

You just store them upright with bookends and such?

My biggest burst of comic buying was the late 80s-mid 90s. I treated them like crap, but they're still in perfectly readable condition - I just read the DeMatteis run on Doctor Fate from 89-91 and it's in totally good nick. So basically I can never be bothered. Nowadays I just give stuff to charity shops after I've bought it or leave them in piles where they won't annoy my partner too much. The only thing I regret not bothering to hold onto properly was 52, but I imagine those aren't hard to replace.

xp, i store them upright in a bookshelf with doors... generally with TPBs on either end. makes them accessible and kinda po-mo modern arty.

Ah, a TPB sandwich makes sense.

Same here -- my stack of comics from the '80s and early '90s have spent their life in a series of boxes and on various shelves and bathroom floors, and they're in pretty good shape. I have some bagged, b/c I thought it was important back then, but I don't do that anymore.
