Type of bags used

[pink181]

Im looking to replace numerous bags in my collections as well as bag my current issues. I was looking at BCW resealable bags. I have been using the regular BCW. Is there any benefits to either one. I know one major draw back is the possible pulls on the cover with the adhesive stripe with resealable bags

Personally, i like the bags you need tape for. the resealable bags are a nightmare to get books out of and back into once the adhesive is used

I personally like the self sealing bags. The adhesive strip is on the bag not the flap so catching or snagging the cover isnt really an issue More of a chance with a piece of tape then the self seal bags IMO

For my own personal collection I use Mylites 2..If your using these for show stock I would use the cheapest bags I could find ..The self stick are just fine IMO

I've tagged a cover with the self stick bags - they are a PITA. No reason to use tape if you're using cheap bags, just tuck the cover inside, and call it good. If you're using M2s, just crease the flap, and call it good.

 

I'm tired of peeling the tape off my Arex Crooke shipments.

Mostly what's used around here is douchebags.

I like the Mylite 2's. I actually don't use tape anymore. I just fold the flap down and they get held in place by the rest of the comics.

How could you tag a cover with a self stick bag? The adhesive is on the bag ,not the flap At least the ones I buy are .maybe some arent.

Book contact with the back of the bag

I bought those same bags and hate em. Always forgot there was sticky on the bag and eventually once finds itself stuck to a book.

 

I'd rather have a small piece of tape I can move off to the side somewhere rather than bags with strips of adhesive across the back that stick to books.

For regular books, a basic bag and board sealed with one piece of tape. Two pieces is overkill.

 

For better books and GA, I use fullbacks and Mylite2s, sealed with a piece of doublestick tape between the flap and back of the bag.

 

I never use mylar -- too expensive and bulky for a personal collection. If I was a dealer, though, I'd be all over them.

I use mylites 2 and 3M Post-it Flags. I don't let tape anywhere near my books

 

 

 

The Post-it flags work great and they pose no danger to my books

[BillBreck]

Scotch removable tape works pretty well on non-Mylar bags. It's sticky enough to hold the flap down, but won't pull off the ink or paper if it touches the cover.

Mylite2s are mylar

Im trying to get better and use less tape. I could always toss em in a manila envelope with no tape

Put them in the manila envelope, then tape them to the cardboard, then put them in a box

 

How's the season going, coach? :shrug:
