Bill Cole supplies OA display frame question?

[PhiGam-migration]

I've scored supplies from Bill Cole enterprises in the past and plan on scoring some more stuff from them soon...I was wondering if anyone here on the boards has purchased or is using their OA display frame:

 

http://www.bcemylar.com/display_frame.cfm

 

This is CONSIDERABLY cheaper than taking my OA to a framer (like I did last time)...I understand that this isn't top notch archival glass, but instead just UV glass...but does anyone else use it? Is it solid enough for a cheapo page? anyone have an OA cover in one?

 

Also, has anyone tried their CGC display frames?

Thanks in advance

I had no idea BCE had these products. I could use both.

 

Does Hotflips have anything comparable to either yet? That'd be the one place I'd like to check first since they are good boardies!

Great question,

I have bought from BCE years ago when I first started to collect comics but found them a little pricey.

 

I'm interested in comic display frames....does anybody have any pictures to share of BCE frames or have any recommendations on where to buy some.

I saw a row of them at a store - wasn't impressed at all seeing that the frame looks like a $5 wal-mart special. BCE stuff in general is horribly overpriced, though, so I guess I shouldn't have been too surprised.

 

I will once again recommend Frame it Again Sam's CGC frames for anyone who cares to listen - at $14/frame, you really can't go wrong.

Are you talking about the 2 mil arklites that are exactly the same as Gerber's Mylites2 (because Gerber and BCE share the same patent), but cost almost twice as much? Nope, I really don't dig those (thumbs u

No problem whatsoever - the Gerber & BCE mylar is identical in every way, so there's no reason to pay a premium here. I've also found that the true acid-free BCE backing boards (the time-x-tenders) have a tendency to shed cardboard shavings in the bag - which is lame - so, again, I much prefer the Gerber half-backs & full-backs (which are also true acid-free boards).
