Storage Question - Mylites for slabbed comics? 0

[thewritestuff]

Just wondering if this is overkill...  

My slabbed books often arrive with open-top polybags, and on more than a few occasions the top CGC label has either fallen off or has become partially detached due to it sticking to the top of the poly bag and/or just general rubbing during shipping. Because of this, I started storing my graded books in the large Gerber Mylites. They look nice, and it seems to prevent scratching, and also protects the older books with the sticker label on top. Anyone else store their books this way? I was wondering if there is a downside to this... could this harm the slabbed book in some way?

 

Please share your thoughts.

Mylar is the preferred method of storage for raw books. How could a mylar covering the slab possibly harm the book in any way ? Sorry but I think your question is obsessive compulsive !

I use the bags which are made specifically for slabbed books. They work great. There is certainly no way they could harm the book since the book is already encased in two separate holders.

Not necessary but they do look super nice and will prevent scuffs on the case. Buyers are starting to care about that stuff more and more...
