As for storing two comics per bag, I doubt there’s really any harm. I know people who have done it and they haven’t had any problems as far as I know.

The only thing I can think of is that with normal boards, you have the comic backed up against the non-“buffered” side, which could be an issue. You won’t have that problem with proper, archival-quality boards, though.

Anybody else have experience with this?

I usually doubled ‘em up like that when I sold lots on eBay to cut down on space and weight, and I’ve never had anyone complain. They seem to stack better that way for packing, since you have covers facing each other and the spines are on alternating sides. Hopefully I wasn’t committing Crimes Against Comics. 

Hey, thanks so much for the info, and those great pics  Helps a ton!

Getting greedy (in more ways than one), but would you be up for trying two modern-age comics using a 700M2/675HB and 700M2/675FB combo? I realize many collectors don't care for this setup when storing even *one* comic per bag, but I'm just so curious if/how it fits... got any cheapos you can try with, in case they end up merging into one book?   

Thanks for the reply! If anyone else is able to chime in on the couple other questions from before, would be awesome. Looking to place an order at some point soon.

1) With the 725/700 Mylite 2/Fullback combo, when storing one comic per bag, is there much excess bag flopping around on the backside?

2) With the 725/700 combo above, and in general, is it bad to store two comics per bag/board? I can't imagine it being an issue, but not sure if I'm missing anything.

Thanks!

Hi! Guess this post is a bump and a question

I've read through the whole thread, looking for some talk about storing two comics in one bag. I'm considering putting one comic on either side of each board, spines reversed. Is this always a bad idea, when using Mylite 2 bags (725M2) with Fullbacks (700FB)? I'm looking to re-bag and board around 1000 modern age comics, and it would be great if I could save space and money by double-booking each bag. I've only ever used standard 24pt backing boards, so I have zero experience with the thicker FBs and mylar bags.

I realize most people go for the Gerber 725M2/700FB combo for modern books - for those that have experience with this combo, is there much "loose" plastic on the rear of the bag, when storing one book per bag? Is there enough room for an extra book in there? Despite people liking the 725/700 combo, I've always been partial to trying the 700M2/675FB route for moderns is cause, well, I like a tight fit... 
And for some reason, I also prefer the aesthetic of 700/675 over 725/700. But is this really that bad of an idea? I definitely don't want the books sliding around in the bags, and I'm also looking to avoid having excess bag material on the backside. I currently have my modern age books in Current Age poly bags with Current Age 24pt boards, and though it's a snug fit, it doesn't seem *too* tight. And, it does seem like there is enough backing board covering the entirety of the rear of the comics... but I'm open to new ideas, as I'm relatively new at this stuff.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated - thank you kindly!
