I would think not. I read that over time it would contribute to the overall deterioration, which was the whole point to this topic. Has anyone heard of or had any experience with the microchamber boxes at the URL below? Any thoughts about it? http://www.conservationresources.com/Main/section_3/section3_5.htm Does it offer the same advantages as the paper that goes inside the comics? The microchamber boxes are made of board just slightly thicker than a fullback. Nothing like the corrugated cardboard used in "standard" comic long or short boxes. Yes, it offers the same advantages as the paper that goes inside the comics The way you say that it's "nothing" like the corrugated cardboard, it sounds like that's a bad thing. Is that the case? I would think that since standard cardboard boxes are not acid-free and that microchamber boxes offer the advantage of absorbing acidic pollutants like the paper that goes in the comics, that would mean that the microchamber boxes would be a much better choice. Would you disagree with that statement?

Yes, I was thinking about looking into their plastic acid-free boxes. Do you get your microchamber paper from them also? If so, what do you think of the size? It seems like it would be too small to me, especially compared to the ones they sell at Frameitagainsam.com which appear to be the perfect size to cover an entire comic page. Have you had a chance to look at the microchamber boxes at Conservationresources.com? What do you think of your plastic acid-free boxes compared to those?

Has anyone found a solution to this? I'm in the same spot. Everyone says "acid-free" everything...so far I've found great solutions for the bag (Mylites2), boards (fullbacks), and even good microchamber paper for inside the comics (from conservationresources.com), but no sensible solution for the comic box. Much like this post, I was going to go with the box 13 from Egerber.com, but they said they're out and won't get anymore until next year (and wouldn't be more specific about WHEN next year). The Bill Cole boxes are WAY too expensive. I saw the same boxes you did at Hollinger Metal, but they're about as expensive as BC. I'm curious about the microchamber boxes at the conservationresources.com site. If it's the same material that removes acidic and other pollutant qualities as the paper you put inside the comics, wouldn't it stand to reason that it would also help with that if the box was made of the same material? It's very expensive also though. Anyone have any thoughts?

Did you ever find an answer to the question about whether the full-backs last as long as the Mylar bags? I realize this thread is 10 years old, but I was wondering this same thing recently. What's the point of having the convenience of not having to replace your bags for 100 years if you'll still have to replace the board every 5-10 years? The other reason I wanted to reply to a 10 year old thread is that you mentioned you'd check how your boards were doing in 10-15 years...well it's been 10 years So how are those boards?
