icp004 Posted September 29, 2022 Share Posted September 29, 2022 I just purchased 50 pack of E. Gerber 700FB from eBay. I noticed only one side is white and the other is brown. Is this new for them to cut costs or a manufacture defect? All others I have are white on both sides. Product numbers seem to match up with what I received in the past. I’ll email E. Gerber tomorrow to see what they say. Here is side by side of old and new. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

comick1 Posted December 31, 2022 Share Posted December 31, 2022 I posted this elsewhere, but am hoping that a post here may get a bit more traction so apologies for redundancy. I am noting that there are no venders/dealers who carry 4 mil mylar sleeves in silver or gold or super-gold size any longer. I've scoured ebay and Amazon as well as internet websites of typical dealers. And when I go into my LCSs, they say that 4 mil isn't being carried by distributors anymore. Like maybe the companies that typically sell these have decided that 4 mil archives/mylar sleeves are no longer of interest to anybody?? Are we witnessing the extinction of 4 mil mylar? I've been double bagging my comics for 35 years upside down in a mylite (originally only in 1 mil, but later in 2 mil) and then right side up in a 4 mil mylar archival/sleeve at the next largest width from the interior mylite. Anybody have any recommendations for me regarding where to find 4 mil mylar sleeves in silver, gold, or super-gold size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or maybe I'm conflating that with Bill Cole?? I don't know. . . Was E Gerber up and running this whole time? Hey, regardless, problem solved! I really appreciate your referral. Thanks so much, Cbalroman! cbalroman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The turn around time was about 8 weeks for my order. comick1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HighRadArt Posted September 21, 2023 Share Posted September 21, 2023 I'm not a fan of the one side coated boards from E. Gerber so I switched to the 56 point boards from Comic Pro Line. Unfortunately, as others have mentioned, the Comic Pro Line mylar bags tend to easily split along the sides so I prefer the mylar bags from E. Gerber. Since I don't have a lot of GA books (the horror) - I've started to use the following combination: E. Gerber 725M2 Mylites2 (7 1/4 x 10 1/2) Comic Pro Line Silver 56 point boards (7 1/4 x 10 1/2) I've found this combination (E. Gerber bag and Comic Pro board), is not as snug as just using the bag and board from Comic Pro line. Also, for those that care, the flaps on the Comic Pro line bags are larger. Beautiful! Hard to see the bag but who cares. Bart Allen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krismusic Posted September 22, 2023 Share Posted September 22, 2023 Since the thread has been resurrected. I’ve been seeing people framing books in Mylar then in cheap ikea frames. Anyone see any potential issues doing this. Like the frames and glass aren’t touching the books it’s touching the Mylar or the matting. Besides heating and cooling of the glass what are ur thoughts… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides heating and cooling of the glass what are ur thoughts… No issues so long as they don't display them in direct or indirect sunlight unless the glass in the frames is UV protected color fade is the only concern. Maybe also crimping or smooshing the spine if the frames and backing are too tight. Krismusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rshellhouse Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Bringing back to life just to see if people are still fans of the double bag system? Would it be better to just use a fullback and a 4 mil bag? Is the mylite 2 with paper inside a 4mil with a full back still the ultimate way to go with money being no issue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jessehardesty Posted April 19 Share Posted April 19 So I ordered some of the thickest boards available from Bags Unlimited, I'm pretty sure they are the same ones that E. Gerber used to offer. Also easier to order and they came quite fast, they're also the only company that offers bags and boards for Mini Comics. They're also double sided white like the old ones, I plan to order some others of other sizes to confirm. Between those and Evo Retros bags, it's a good combo for my regular books and mylars for my older books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
