Storage supplies

[bogglekng]

I have some older comics that are actually magazine size. Aside from bags and boards, what do folks use to storage and display their magazines in? And where do I find such items? THANKS

E. Gerber manufactures Mylite2's and acid-free boards in magazine sizes and even larger. They also make acid-free boxes that fit magazines.

I have several 3-ring binders with binder mylars from Bill Cole. I keep one of my savage sword runs in them for flippin' through. (thumbs u

I just keepp mine in bags, boards, and magazine boxes. I will say this though, if you are even considering going fancier than that, do it now. If you're like me then once you have them in a good enough storage situation you'll never get around to upgrading.

I am very fond of the comic storage supplies offered by BagsUnlimited.com. They have mylar sleeves in all sizes, along with acid-free backings to match, and durable static-free comic boxes. Some of what they offer is nearly museum-grade, but there are more economical options, and they have all sorts of supplies for other types of collecting -- coins, toys, records, and so on.

Snapped a couple of Photos of my binders. Looked for binder mylars on Bill Cole's site and it doesn't look like he offers them anymore.

Nice for non standard sizes, but still pricey.

Sorry, I thought you were asking what people used to stored their magazines (or magazine-sized comics).

No worries, still looking for 4mil mylar for art size prints..

That sounds like the sort of thing that wouldn't have a fixed size, so it would be less likely a place would sell mylar sleeves for it. If you do find something, though, be sure to let us know, because I have a number of oversized books and art that would be nice to protect from silverfish and such.

We have some left I believe. What are the exact measurements of the prints??

Don't know if you saw the link I posted for Bill Cole but he carries those sizes in bulk.

[bogglekng]

Not a bad price. around $4 a piece.. just don't have the big cash to drop for that..
