That's right. If you don't know what drawer boxes are, then you don't know nothing.

Drawboxes are these awesome inventions from a guy named Rich out in Colorado, and he was tired

0:45.2

of lifting heavy comic boxes off of huge piles in order to get to the stuff that's in the

0:51.1

bottom, and he said, man, it would be awesome if my comics were in a drawer, but you know, if I had big metal drawers or something, it'd be so expensive, and they'd be hard to move around, and that would suck. So I want cardboard boxes, but I want drawers. So he invented cardboard drawers called drawer boxes. And they work amazingly well. You can have them stacked like six high and you don't have any problems. The boxes

And Rich, the owner, is one of the nicest guys on the planet. and if you see him at a con, I don't know, he might be at the New York con coming up. He's usually there.
