Are you missing a cel?

The Silverfish will eat sketches!

That's why I keep my sketches in the center of my room above the floor. It's the driest, least temperature fluctuating area in my room and it's one of the least silverfish accesible spots.

I've never seen any silverfish destruction in any of my collector bags. Inside the house I've seen silverfish damage in the dark, less human-accesible areas:

1. Food can labels in the kitchen cabinet get munched on.

2. Old paper stored under my bed and in the corners of my room.

3. Old paper in the bottom corners of my closet.

4. Old paper stored inside boxes in the bottom of my closet.

All these munched on papers were unbagged. Once I seen a silverfish inside my covered comic book box, but that box was sitting on the floor at the time and the comics were bagged.

My biggest worry was for my most valuable comic books that were mainly in thick mylar sleeves with open tops. I took the archival Ph balanced buffered box they were in and turned it over so it sat on its side. It's more difficult for the silverfish to get in because all the comic books are pushing down on top of each other because of their weight (the box is only a third full). I put the box on top of my bureau out in the open in the light, high up off the floor where silverfish are much less likely to go.

This is what I try to do:
I save the links to the auctions I've won and place the links in my "Auctions I won" Folder...

Then I save the picture of the auction item I won and put the picture in my "My Cel-Sketch Pictures" Folder...

Then I make 1-3 screencaps of the auction listing...
I write down what auctions I won...

I write down all the auction data of the items listed in the shipment...

I receive the package from the deputy and then I wait several months to open the boxes.

You the man, Terence, you DA man! LOL
So thourough, it's a good way to organise things but like you, I fall at the last hurdle. That is to promptly sort the artwork so that it's safe and in a strict order- either by character/chronology within each series.

You mentioned not sorting through new packages- I often do that. This did cause me a problem last week. I knew I had won an auction and paid for it- that info is detailed in my pics folder. It was supposedly sent to me via EMS in June but I couldn't find it. I hunted for this particular genga for hours and eventually stumbled across it bundled in a cel bag with 2 other sketch cuts; it was put there by the deputy when the order was shipped.
*phew* it turned up in the end!

But that experience reminded me to sort things promptly so that it doesn't happen again.
