They are terrible for OA in my opinion as they tend to hold the pieces too tightly and provide minimal support or protection. They also aren't necessarily archival safe. Here's an example - https://www.amazon.com/Ultra-Pro-11-Toploader-10ct/dp/B07MXWRLSX I saw the link you identified. I wouldn’t use PVC either. I also don’t think that is the way most people here use the term, but more generically— like a “xerox” copy doesn’t necessarily get made on a Xerox machine. I was referring to products like those by E. Gerber that they call “archive envelopes”. Link to post Share on other sites

Example: Artwork X is tagged "Portfolio 12, sleeve 15" or (for me ) "the tallest stack...somewhere middle third. No reshuffling, cuz no order, means no hassle and also little/no risk of those loose word balloons coming off, etc. This method is approximately how Bob Bretall manages his 115k+ quantity comic book collection and how gajillions of eBay sellers manage the inventory of their home "warehouses". This is the Mile High Comics / Amazon method too, iirc. You don't care where anything is. You just number all of the portfolios and look up its location. I do the same even for my modest collection. It also has the unintended side-effect of arranging your collection by date acquired. Link to post Share on other sites

There are so many ways to manage a public "business" down before dropping the irreplaceable, but discussing nearly all of them...here...particularly if I'm the one posting...would get POOFED:political pretty quick. Hi trolls love ya And thus, the "global conversation on the subject" (and shuttered museums around the world) shall remain that much poorer BCarter27 1 Link to post Share on other sites
