flashlites Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 I would like your thoughts on some of the unique preservation challenges that older silver age books present. I am about to re bag my entire collection and I've just ordered 50 SA 2mil Mylites and acid free boards. I have found that many SA books will fit in standard size but those pesky 80 and 100 page giants do not. Also anything before say 1962 really needs to be in a SA size bag. I noticed E.Gerber sells a 1.42 mil Mylar bag w/flap. Has anyone out there tried these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempus Fugit Posted April 1, 2018 Share Posted April 1, 2018 Gerber 775 mylite 2 bags with 750 full back boards, give those comics some room to breathe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flashlites Posted April 1, 2018 Author Share Posted April 1, 2018 I'll be trying out that size when they come in next week! If they are what I think they are I'll get more. Does anyone out there know when comics got reduced to under 7" wide? If I'm not mistaken it seems Marvel stayed at that width longer than DC. Is that true?

flashlites Posted April 2, 2018 Author Share Posted April 2, 2018 DC seems to have gone down to 6 7/8" (With some differences probably due to trimming inconsistencies)in late 1965. Marvel seems to have been at 6 3/4 in '65 but I have very few Marvels to go by. I sure one of you out there can confirm this Scooby Doo mystery?

flashlites Posted April 6, 2018 Author Share Posted April 6, 2018 How about boxes? The long boxes at my local comic shops are sort of a one size supposed to fit all. Now that my older SA books are in propper bags and boards it seem the long box is a tight fit. Are there SA long boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
