I have a big fun of FF comics I bought from 1984-1996 and considering the value, I am thinking of 2 per silver size bag and 1 board.
Does anyone do this? I just want to save some money and looking for a way to do it

I was thinking the silver 7 1/4 size might work perfect for me, not sure though
I do not see any drawbacks for potential damage, do you?
I never bothered with boards and if you don't do that you can easily fit a 6-7 issue arc in one bag.
My buddy does this, loves the freedom and the cost
How do you store them, in white boxes and how do you keep them safe?
What size do you buy?
Current and silver size, the former for short arcs up to 4 issues, and the latter for larger arcs.
I stack them horizontally in a wall-sized book rack from Ikea.
And the many different shelves allow classifying them by writer, company, imprint, whatever.
But now I just get the trades.
A lot of my old comics are done that way, and have been for many years. Its a benefit, I think, because it makes the entire bag/board even more stiff and sturdy.
Every day is a gift, not a given right.
With this method how do you keep them upright in a long box?
I usually do this without the board. Usually you can fit up to six but typically I'll do four.
So issues 1,2:flip:4,3.
Since I'm not really collecting for value though, and TPB are pretty widely available I've started looking into binding rather than bag storage.
Pull List:
Marvel Comics: Venom, X-Men, Black Panther, Captain America, Eternals, Warhammer 40000.
