When should I consider upgrading from basic comic book boxes to more advanced storage solutions?

You should consider upgrading from basic comic book boxes when your collection grows significantly, when you acquire highly valuable or rare issues, or when you notice any signs of degradation in your current storage methods. If your comics are exposed to fluctuating temperatures, humidity, or potential physical damage, investing in archival-quality bags, boards, and more robust storage containers like plastic bins or display cases is advisable for long-term preservation.
