user102: This is an interesting question, because it describes several real-world things:

Owning paper manga
Wanting to keep the condition of the manga as high as possible for future ownership reasons
It has a really nice answer, too

...but I want to be sure that this is the kind of question we want to keep around here.
Why we should

Asking questions around how to ensure low wear and tear on collectibles is a viable subject. Ensuring that we can preserve our manga collections with useful tidbits is always beneficial.
Asking questions about bonuses or hidden features of material goods related to anime and manga can be seen as an entry point to talking about it more.

Why we shouldn't

It's a meta discussion on anime and manga itself.  We're not talking about series, but the actual physical goods.
This may lead down the slippery slope of asking where we could find something, at almost the same volume as identification questions.
I'm not sure we're really built for it; we've not built ourselves as a Q&A about figurines or service items, even though we do permit some series-related discussion on it.

Thoughts?  If we want to keep these kinds of questions around, what should the tag be for them?

I think your first point in the "Why we shouldn't" should be in "Why we should".
Second point in "Why we shouldn't" is a typical shopping question, which is basically prohibited by default on most SE sites for the obvious reason of there being infinite products on any given topic and we're not a shopping recommendation site.
Sure we're built for it! Take a look at other SE sites where they have some questions like that, but on their topic.

We could probably expect there to be a total of ~100 non-duplicate "meta"-questions about preserving figurines, posters, mangas and dvds/blurays, which isn't that big a number if you consider how many ID requests we've sifted through over the years. And it would be actually useful information for a lot of unique visitors, unlike IDs.
