I talk with some archivist and they told me that ANY kind of plastic, including mylar, polypropylene are not good for paper, can cause humidity (well that depends of the humidity room) and can cause abrasion to the paper and other problems, for archive paper, posters, etc... any paper (comics) they prefer other papers like this ones: and in some way make sense, think! those plastics not match with paper, but other papers match. I have some humidity problem in my room, I have a good collection of records and some comics in mylar sleeves and I got a lot mold spores on, due that a lot now have a lot foxing! is very sad, I not saying that mylar can cause that like I say the humidity was too high in my room but! I bet the damn bags HOLDS! the mold more, I bet if I was used just paper it will dont get a lot mold. So I see EVERY single comic collector use mylar (egerber or other brands) but ARE YOU SURE THAT MYLAR NOT CAN DAMAGE THE PAPER OVER TIME? like I say even archivist pros is better avoid any plastic (mylar, poly...etc.) contact to paper. What do yo think?

I am looking to re-bag my silver age collection in "Mylites". I love the protection these bags provide and love the way the books look in Mylar. The problem is my local comic shops only stock "standard size" and I need 200 silver age size. E. Gerbers' minimum order is $100. I was hoping someone else might be willing to sell 200?

I have a number of high-grade raw copper keys to submit for grading. In many cases, the unread book was placed directly into a polypropylene bag with a board (probably both Ultra Pro) circa 1990, taped shut, and stored under fairly good conditions ever since. With books like this, where there seems to be a possibility of getting a 9.8 or better, should I attempt to remove the book from the original materials and replace with 2mil (or thicker) mylar + fullback? Or should I leave them as-is, perhaps with the added protection of an exterior golden bag/board? I'm just concerned about the risk of knocking down the grades slightly in the process of handling the book (especially if the tape used to seal the original bag comes into contact with the book). I'm leaning toward avoiding the risk and just inserting each such book into an extra golden bag with a fullback (seeing as a few extra months of contact with polypropylene won't make much difference), but I'm curious what folks think.

Hello, hello! As you might know already or will surely figure out in this thread, I'm new. I have some questions. Let's get started. I'll try to make it as separated as possible... What you should know is I'd like for the comics I've already bought and the comics that I buy in the future to be in a very pleasing condition from now until I decide I've had enough. Seemingly forever. I appreciate any and all responses. All information mentioned by me is from the week of me delving into comics. Most of it is from YouTube and such. Don't think I think I know what I'm talking about. This is all what I've gathered. Last but not least, I've been toying with the thought of maybe giving my current comics away (I only have 25) and just converting to digital seeing as how I'm not sure if I want to commit to collecting the comics since they degrade in quality over time. Digital is forever, or should be, and would be cheaper in the long run. I've been debating it quite harshly in my mind, so any helpful input on what you guys think is also greatly appreciated. Since I've said that, don't think any of what I say is pointless, it's helping me decide what I want to do and it'll also give more information to others that need these following questions answered. As Mario says... Here we go! Bags There are bag sizes that go with their respective comic book size. Comics these days are Current sized. There are polypropylene and mylar bags. Mylar seems to be for more protection, which seems to be my go-to. 2 mil and 4 mil. Assuming higher the mil, more sturdy the bag will be, thus more protection. Probably sticking with 2 mil. What kind of bags do you guys suggest I use and from who/where should I buy them from? Backing Boards There's half-back and full-back. Full is much more sturdy and provides more protection. I'll probably get full-back. What kind of backing boards do you guys suggest I use and from who/where should I buy them from? Boxes There are short and long boxes from what I understand. Then there's cardboard, plastic, then some other material that provides way more protection. I'm thinking of buying a long plastic box, but it seems like it doesn't provide as much weight capacity as the cardboard boxes. Not sure. What kind of boxes should I use and from who/where should I buy them from? Side, short addition. Tape. What kind of tape would you guys recommend for sealing the bags? I don't think I would like to use resealable bags...
