I use the Brodart covers as well.  The "marble" jackets on the original 27 are pretty thin and I wanted to make sure they didn't wind up ripped.

Yep, the Brodarts are pretty great for protecting dustjackets... I use the glossy archivals and they also really make the spines pop. That said, I'm looking forward to (what I assume) is Marvel's transition away from dustjackets for the reason this thread was started: they're too easy to damage.

A small rip on the dust jacket doesn't bother me...but I have a problem with my Daredevil by Bendis vol 2 where the binding is starting to break in two and is no longer stuck to the spin properly. Eventually it is gonna give and if a new printing comes I'm probably going to snag it.
Slightly off topic, but...  I store my thicker books on their side to help prevent the block of pages pulling away from the spine. Has anyone experienced this problem with the thinner books (OHC, as opposed to omnis)?
