Re-bag comics as received?

[mschmidt]

I rebag everything regardless if the bag and board I get from the seller is brand new or not.

 

Same here - used bags are

i have a blanket made of micro-chamber paper woven by space-elves to deter further degradation.

 

Hey, me too!

I rebag & board if the bag or board look yucky. I also don't like the self stick bags.

 

But lately it's just too expensive/time consuming. I probably have 2000-3000 BA and SA books that probably deserve a new bag/board, but I don't want to lay out the money for supplies or spend 2 days doing it. When I re-bag and board I make little notes about the condition and interior and back cover on the tape so that I don't have to take it out if I decide to scan/sell the book. On an expensive book I would, but likely not on a $5 book.

I always re-bag. Moderns into polybags, often 2 to a bag with a board between. Silver and nice Bronze issues into mylar/fullback/microchamber.

 

I harvest a ton of old backing boards from my ebay packages. These, my kids love to use for crafts and drawings. I gave about 500 of these to my daughter's pre-school teacher, and she was genuinely thrilled.

 

These poor pre-school teachers don't get out much do they !!
