Never use Current, ever.  Do everything in Regular.  I personally use Silver for anything not in a mylite, but you won't need the extra space.

are there regular size poly bags? current size may cause wrinkles in the book?

i have many moden age comics and i would like to put them in poly bags,which size do you suggest me? current size comiccare?is it worth it? or should i choose silver age size? we are talking about modern age books and some bronze age

If,when I have room,I'll fill in with some trades,or my extra bags and boards so it's snug.Others may do the same or have another solution.I have a pile of collections ect I keep for when this happens,or store it tall side up if you're comfortable with that?

i do the same,but wouldn't be much tight if i keep doin'this?

Pictures would help. 

The Mylar is much thicker than the poly bags. Perhaps the fluff is merely the thicker material bowing out slightly? 

I just picked up a modern in a standard sized Mylar and the bag doesn't lie completely against the fullback. It isn't meant to be air tight. You'll have a bit of a wrinkle and that's actually a good thing. 

As far as the damage to your books...I don't understand, unless you've mishandled them, stored them haphazardly, or used bags that are too small.

I don't know what you mean straightfolded,but I prefer a bit of room myself.It only took one time of books falling forward and getting bent from being too snug for me to change it up.I find if the boards are the right size,they should provide protection on the sides.Just a personal preference.

if i leave room in the box,would'n t the books fall forward?

I will provide the answer soon.

 

very funny, are you always so clever?

Okay.Looked to me like the bags may be causing some drag,so if the books shift it could cause some stress.

so,maybe should i put htem straightfolded and more tight in the box?

Based on your pictures, this is an easy one. 

I can see your problem right there.

well,where?the creasing is much worse than it seems in the pics

Are the comics in the b and b's not fitting in the boxes with any room to spare?I know I've found for Dell and other larger sized SA or GA-using SA fullbacks,mylites I had to start using mag boxes,as things were just WAY to snug with a normal long or short.

no they fit nice

yeah pictures would help us understand the damage your are talking about and maybe help us eliminate the potential problems to get to the source.

I think it’s mentioned already but I would not use half, but full backing boards. 

do you think thecause of the problem might be the halfbacks?

Not for all your stated problems, but the whole package, bag, board, comic needs to be flat, and without a big bubble of air in the bag.

it's nearly flat,but mostly at downwards there is an amount of air,are your mylites are free of air?

2 minutes ago, lizards2 said:

It sounds like your folding the flap down and leaving air in the bag, instead of expressing the air out, then folding the flap down.  After placing the book in, express the air out, then use post it flag to seal it.  The package should be flat, not all bubbly.

thank you for your answer, do you think that air might be the cause of the problem?

... out of my league again...

But if the boards aren't the same size etc or there are too many of them...

Maybe you were shipped the wrong size...

Pics should clarify everything presumably

 

 

standard size standard boards, i will have photos soon

Can you show us pictures of how you are storing the books and what they look like in the bags? 

I would leave them in the Mylites for sure! 

My method is Mylites 2 standard sized bags and matching Fullback boards. ACID-FREE, TWO-SIDED TAPE underneath the flap. I store my books upright with the all of the front covers facing the same direction - the front of the box. I use a BCW COMIC BOOK BIN to store my books. I also use Microchamber paper (eBay) - one piece behind the front cover, in the centerfold, and in front of the back cover. 

i will provide photos soon as i can,i have mylites 2 and halfbacks,two tapes,one in the middle and one in the edge,and the same box as yours,no microchamber,do you think halfbacks might be the problem?

thank you for your answer my friend.i am not mishandle my issues, i bought in the summer many new books in near mint condition, i put them straight in mylites and recently i wanted to read them and saw these problems, i really don't know.Two questions if you can answer me-are you suggesting me to keep on with mylites or to take the books out of mylites -just for some days at least,to see what is going on-and may i ask how you store your books, i put them cover to cover-i saw it on youtube-is it wise to do that?sorry for my english i am from europe.thank you again

Mylites are far superior.  There are several threads on the boards about it, but all you need to know is that the US Library of Congress uses mylar (which mylites are made out of) for archiving precious Federal documents of the country.

yes that's true, but i am afraid if the other books will have the same problems with the <<damaged>ones.maybe i am doing something wrong.is there a chance air might be the cause?

2 minutes ago, namisgr said:

There's very little air left in the bag and no large bubbles of it when you use a flat hand to gently push it out before taping the bag shut.  But no, not all the air is removed, as storage with a bag and board doesn't create a vacuum.

 

thanks again!do you suggest me to stay in mylites or to take all of  my books out of the mylite bags and place them in poly?

20 minutes ago, namisgr said:

After bagging, place the bag on a flat surface with the book face down and with a gentle flat hand move the air out of the bag before taping it shut.  Also, I'd recommend storing all the books facing the same direction, rather than front cover to front cover.  The oversized backing board of the neighboring book in front of it will prevent any damage from happening to the front cover.

The only other thing I can imagine is the possibility that you may be jamming the books into storage boxes too tightly.

 

thank you,when you seal your comics all the air is coming out o a little amount stays?

This is my guess. 

I have no idea what he means by air bubbles. 

modern age books in standard size mylites, when i say air bubbles i am saying that in the back cover the mylite inflates from the air that is kept in there( sorry  my english are not very good i am from europe)
