Boozad Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Michael, your thread was the kick up the arse I needed to finally PM Jeff to enquire about supplies, I'm way too lazy when it comes to storage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nocutename Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 Michael, I treated myself to some mylite2s during Hotflips sale. I got the 725 and 700 halfbacks and love them. However, I noticed that the .20¢ are very tight in the 725s. Should I go up a size for those? Also, I tuck in the flap on my cheapie bags and am doing the same with these. Does anyone have anyother suggestions for closing the flap? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sckao Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 I use these: The other Scotch tape is too sticky and leaves a residue when removed. (So does this, but it won't stick so badly that it tears the comic.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nocutename Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 (edited) Thanks, sckao. Is that the 3M removable tape? Someone told me that 3M makes a good tape as well. I am still tucking but it takes some time to get it just right and lay flat because the mylites are so much thicker than the cheapies. Edit...I just saw the 3M logo. I am going to look for it at staples tomorrow. Edited September 14, 2009 by nocutename Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anyone have anyother suggestions for closing the flap? For $0.20 books, yeah, I suggest going up a size (775's at least) - you can actually see it in the scans of the Daredevil #64; it fits within a 725, but is too tight for my liking ... I use the 3M transparent tape (in the red box) for closing the flap - I tried the removeable tape, but it didn't stick very well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
universal soldier Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 I use these, multi-use removable labels (5/8" X 7/8") from staples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawkman Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 now if i could only find drawer boxes that would fit more than archive standard sizes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silver Surfer Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Thanks for bumping this thread. How about Atom age books? For example a Sub-Mariner Comics #33 is smaller than your typical 1940's GA book but is it the same dimensions as a SA Marvel? At the office right now otherwise I'd check myself.

peewee22 Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 Is there a CGC sized mylar? Yep...it's a mylite. I've got a half dozen. Crystal clear !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marmat Posted January 23, 2010 Share Posted January 23, 2010 I always been confused about Mylar sizes, in Europe is very hard to find a shop who sells Mylars and buying online is not a good idea because the weight. Thanks to you, I am not confused anymore Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
