Arkham Posted July 18, 2013 Share Posted July 18, 2013 Always trying to keep this awesome thread on the first page. A worthy cause. Probably still the best thread on the boards. So relevant and useful. Not sure why it's in CG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arkham Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 Ooh. The last post was a bit cynical. What an . Can anyone tell me the difference between E Gerber Mylar products and BCW Mylar products? Sadly, Hot Flips is sold out of what I want right now... so my checking on Amazon has a ton of stuff available from BCW. Love to know people's thoughts.

InvstmntComcSuply Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 There is no difference between the 2 mil Mylar products. The BCW boards however are SBS and will become acidic before you sneeze on them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, Hot Flips is sold out of what I want right now... so my checking on Amazon has a ton of stuff available from BCW. Love to know people's thoughts. Well, Mylar is mylar, so I wouldn't assume that there'd be much (if any) difference between the Gerber and the BCW mylar bags. The BCW mylars, however, are almost 2x the price of the Gerber mylars, so if I were you I'd either wait for Hotflips to restock (which they do frequently) or order directly from E Gerber.

If you're referring to my post, there is nothing cynical about it. I was dead serious - that is exactly how I do it. I also put two sheets of mcp next to both covers.

I've seen others do the same thing. It feels slightly overkill to me, but I can't say I don't get it. In any case, more protection is never a bad thing. (thumbs u Alas, 99% of my Golden and Silver Age books are mid-grade or lower, so this method is probably unnecessary for me, anyway. A single M2 with a fullback/halfback will suffice.

Spiderphill Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Question, can a comic in a 800R Archive mylar fit into a long box or is it too wide? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mschmidt Posted November 10, 2013 Author Share Posted November 10, 2013 Question, can a comic in a 800R Archive mylar fit into a long box or is it too wide? No. An 800R Archive is 8" wide - regular long & shortboxes only have an interior width of 7 1/2". You'll need to put the book in either a magazine box, a CGC box, or use one of the E Gerber acid-free boxes: http://www.egerber.com/category.asp?CategoryID=451&SubcategoryID=557 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
