Yeah, that's the real killer with those old books. Like @david_craig said, just a good bag and board from the start makes a huge difference. I've seen so many copies where someone just left it in a hot attic or a damp basement for thirty years, and the pages are all brown and brittle. The staples rust out and stain the cover, or the whole thing gets warped. It's a shame because a little basic care would have saved them.

Honestly, getting my own copy graded was a game changer. Tbh I just kept it in a mylar bag with a full back board from the start, stored it flat in a dark closet. Ngl it sounds basic but that alone kept it in way better shape than most from that era.
